Acquire SSL Certificates In Kubernetes From Let’s Encrypt With Cert-Manager
Internet-facing solutions of different kinds such as websites, single-page applications (SPAs), or web/REST APIs have a common requirement: they require proper transport encryption. Adding a proper SSL certificate to services is not optional. If we talk about HTTP, it is always HTTPS. You should treat it the same way. Dealing with certificates has been tedious and cumbersome in the past. We saw popular websites and cloud vendors being in trouble because their SSL certificates expired in production environments. With the rise of Let’s Encrypt in 2014, acquiring and rotating valid SSL certificates became fairly easy.
