6. Operational Considerations

DNSKEY algorithm rollover in a live zone is a complex process. See [RFC6781] and [RFC7583] for guidelines on how to perform algorithm rollovers.

DS algorithm rollover in a live zone is also a complex process. Upgrading an algorithm at the same time as rolling to the new Key Signing Key (KSK) key will lead to DNSSEC validation failures, and users MUST upgrade the DS algorithm first before rolling to a new KSK.
