Cert-Manager

Cert-Manager

Cert-Manager is an open source tool for automated management of SSL/TLS certificates on Kubernetes clusters.

Simplify the process of issuing, renewing, and managing certificates, ensuring that applications in Kubernetes can operate securely with HTTPS and other encrypted communications.

Main benefits and features of Cert-Manager

Automatic Certificate Issuance

Cert-Manager integrates with various certificate authorities (CAs) such as Let's Encrypt, HashiCorp Vault, and private CAs, allowing for automatic issuance of TLS certificates.

Automatic Renewal

One of the main features is the automatic renewal of certificates before they expire, avoiding failures in the secure communication process.

Security and Compliance

By automating the certificate management process, Cert-Manager contributes to a more robust security posture, helping to avoid the use of expired or incorrect certificates and ensuring that connections between microservices and with clients are always encrypted .

Reduction of Manual Errors

Automates the certificate management process, minimizing the risk of failures due to certificate expiration.

Ease of Configuration

With configuration via YAML and native Kubernetes integrations, installation and configuration of Cert-Manager is simplified. This also includes defining custom resources such as Certificate and Issuer, which control how certificates are requested and renewed.

Integration with Kubernetes

Cert-Manager uses Custom Resources Definitions (CRDs) and other native Kubernetes features, which makes it easy to install and configure in any container-based environment.
