+# This check was written in response to the poorly communicated expiration
+# of the 2016 PEM file required to make SSL-encrypted connections to Rackspace
+# cloud databases, including MySQL and Redis (from Object Rocket).  This blew
+# up on us in February 2021 when the 2016 PEM file was replaced with the 2021
+# PEM file.
+#
+# The idea here is that we want to be able to get alerted about 4-6 weeks before
+# the CA cert expires again, which will be in 5+ years and we won't remember
+# it without an alert.  Then we can proactively reach out to Rackspace, maybe
+# accept the new cert for 2026 before they switch over and not experience
+# downtime.
+#
+# See:
+# https://docs.objectrocket.com/redis_stunnel.html
