-End user certificates issued by AWS Private CA for AppStream 2.0 certificate-based authentication don't require renewal or revocation. These certificates are short-lived. AppStream 2.0 automatically issues a new certificate for each new session, or every 24 hours for sessions with a long duration. The AppStream 2.0 session governs the use of these end user certificates. If you end a session, AppStream 2.0 stops using that certificate. These end user certificates have a shorter validity period than a typical AWS Private CA CRL distribution. As a result, end user certificates don't need to be revoked and won't appear in a CRL.
