Description

The certificate block can not be set in Read function as it's not reponded by API, so if one updating on the certificate failed, the content from configuration will be set to state as well, but subsequent terraform apply with refresh cannot reset the wrong set certificate block, which described in issue #28812.

By setting partial as true in Update, the subsequent terraform apply will keep the drift as expected:
