How do I rotate keys for JWT signing? <https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/session-to-jwt-cors#end-to-end-example>

I found how to rotate OAuth access token keys: <https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/jwks#rotate-oauth-20-access-token-jwt-keys> - but it seems like because I have to pass in a base64 of the keyset into the template, I have to patch the template as well every time I want to rotate a key.

You're correct that updating the JWKS requires updating the template each time you want to rotate a key.
This is different from the OAuth access token key rotation, which uses a different mechanism.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification! Was curious because I wanted to write down the proper procedures for rotating a JWK key.

Sounds like what I should be doing is `create jwk` and then update the template. Is it possible to then delete the old key (or any individual key, really) from the set using `delete jwk`?
