works for both upgrading and downgrading TLS (but we recommend upgrading). Note that this will only reload a subset of the configuration file,
including the TLS configuration.
The agent reloads all its network connections when there are changes to its TLS
configuration during a config reload via SIGHUP. Any new connections
established will use the updated configuration, and any outstanding old
connections will be closed. This process works when upgrading to TLS,
downgrading from it, as well as rolling certificates. We recommend upgrading
to TLS.
### RPC Upgrade Mode for Nomad Servers
When migrating to TLS, the [ `rpc_upgrade_mode` ][rpc_upgrade_mode] option
(defaults to `false`) in the TLS configuration for a Nomad server can be set
to true. When set to true, servers will accept both TLS and non-TLS
connections. By accepting non-TLS connections, operators can upgrade clients
to TLS without the clients being marked as lost because the server is
rejecting the client connection due to the connection not being over TLS.
However, it is important to note that `rpc_upgrade_mode` should be used as a
temporary solution in the process of migration, and this option should be
re-set to false (meaning that the server will strictly accept only TLS
connections) once the entire cluster has been migrated.
