title: Difference between deactivating (Inactive) vs revoking AWS IoT certificate
body: <p>I am trying to wipe off a AWS IoT certificate from its existence. I have detached the certificate from its thing, now I am confused weather to set the certificate as inactive or revoked before calling the delete certificate.</p>
  <p>I am guessing for my case it doesn't matter since I am ultimately deleting it, but my question is what is the difference between revoking it vs setting it to inactive.</p>
  <pre><code>response = client.update_certificate(certificateId='string',newStatus='INACTIVE'|'REVOKED'|'PENDING_TRANSFER'|'REGISTER_INACTIVE'|'PENDING_ACTIVATION')
  </code></pre>
