cert-manager adds certificates and certificate issuers as resource types to Kubernetes clusters. It also helps you to obtain, renew, and use those certificates. For more information about cert-manager, see cert-manager documentation.
The cert-manager package allows you to, optionally, configure a number of
ClusterIssuer
. When you install Tanzu Application Platform by using profiles,
a self-signed ClusterIssuer
is included by default.
As of cert-manager.tanzu.vmware.com/2.0.0
, versioning departs from the
upstream, open-source project's version. The contained cert-manager version is
reflected in Package.spec.includedSoftware
. You can identify the version of
cert-manager as follows:
kubectl get package -n tap-install cert-manager.tanzu.vmware.com.2.0.0 -ojsonpath='{.spec.includedSoftware}' | jq
[
{
"description": "X.509 certificate management for Kubernetes and OpenShift",
"displayName": "cert-manager",
"version": "1.9.1"
}
]
