Kubernetes and SSL Certificate Management

One of the most popular techniques is to use HTTPS protocol with SSL certificates instead of using the plain HTTP protocol. In this tutorial, we will learn Kubernetes and SSL Certificate Management.

Security is becoming more important than ever and needs to be integrated with any technical solution — even for testing environments. One of the most popular techniques is to use HTTPS protocol with SSL certificates instead of using the plain HTTP protocol. This technique provides us with two main benefits:

• Communications between the client and the server are encrypted.
• The identity of the services or the websites can be verified by the clients using the trusted certificate authorities.

Ordering and using valid SSL certificates cost both money and time (some certificate authorities take three days to issue the needed certificates). As a result, there was a need to automate the creation and issuance of the SSL certificates. Most of the major cloud platforms can generate SSL certificates within hours. However, the generated SSL certificates are not free.

Luckily, there is a tool called Let’s Encrypt that enables users to generate free SSL certificates for their websites.
