Let'sEncrypt on Kubernetes
by emon_lq from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RMTJ)
Hi everyone
I am trying to setup Let'sEncrypt on our on-premise Kubernetes cluster.
Although I am new to SSL certificates & Let'sEncrypt
I have been gathering basic understanding of the following :-
Private/Public key pairs
Certificate Authority
Certificate Signing Requests.
X.509 Certificate types
Domain Validated certificates (DV)
Organization Validated certificate (OV)
Extended Validation certificates (EV)
Using opessl to manipulate/create files like CRT CER KEY (PEM DER)
I have come across a lot of step by step guides on how to deploy cert-manager
What I can't understand Is how they never submit a CSR and pass the validation challenge from Let'sEncrypt??!!
Their deployment just works!!
I have never used Let'sEncrypt, but I have wildcard certificate for my domain from a different RootCA; do I not have to submit CSR to Let'sEncrypt??
Is there something that I am not getting/misunderstanding??
Thanks in advance
