The getting started page at https://linkerd.io/2.10/getting-started/ ends with 'Congratulations, you’re now a Linkerd user!', but doesn't warn that the control plane certificate will expire. As everything else seems automated, this has led to some unwelcome surprises.

A mention / link to the rotation procedure and/or how to set up automation in the 'next steps' segment would save headaches for new (and returning) users.

Hey @iamargopelter seems like a good suggestion to me! Would you be willing to submit a PR in linkerd2/website with the proposed changes?

add tls rotation to getting started suggestions (#1068)

The getting started page does not currently mention that the Control Plane TLS credentials will ultimately expire, leading to nasty surprises a year down the line.

Adding links to the relevant documentation on the getting started page should fix this.

Fixes linkerd/linkerd2#6099
