Easy HTTPS for your private networks
My way of doing private SSL (not necessarily the easiest):
* own CA, to be distributed to all systems via Ansible playbook or Dockerfile directives
* Hashicorp Vault with enabled PKI engine
* Ansible Hashivault module [1]
* Ansible role & playbook to tie it all together
* CI enviroment for automated deployment of SSL certs to target systems
Works flawlessly once set up, including restart/reload of affected services. Might do a writeup on my personal blog at some point.

Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
The second one is a combination of tools: External DNS, cert-manager, and NGINX ingress. Using these as a stack, you can quickly deploy an application, making it available through a DNS with a TLS without much effort via simple annotations. When I first discovered External DNS, I was amazed at its quality.

Easy HTTPS for your private networks
I've been pretty frustrated with how private CAs are supported. Your private root CA can be maliciously used to MITM every domain on the Internet, even though you intend to use it for only a couple domain names. Most people forget to set Name Constraints when they create these and many helper tools lack support [1][2]. Worse, browser support for Name Constraints has been slow [3] and support isn't well tracked [4]. Public CAs give you certificate transparency and you can subscribe to events to detect mis-issuance. Some hosted private CAs like AWS's offer logs [5], but DIY setups don't.
Even still, there are a lot of folks happily using private CAs, they aren't the target audience for this initial release.
