  • What if your Pods need to trust self-signed certificates?

    Plug (but it's open source and free!): We've been trying to address this in Kubernetes with trust-manager. [1] Trust bundles need to be a runtime concern and they need to support trusting both the old a new version of a cert to safely allow for rotation. It's pretty simple but it seems to work well!

    trust-manager also supports pulling in the Mozilla trust bundle which most Linux distros (and therefore most containers) use!

    Handling trust of private [2] certificates is done poorly generally across many orgs and platforms, not just Kubernetes. There are lots of ways of shooting yourself in the foot - particularly when it comes to rotating CA certificates. I think there's a lot of space here for new solutions here!

    [2] I try to avoid "self-signed" in this use case because its literal meaning is that the certificate signs itself using its own key, which is what root certificates do. The Let's Encrypt ISRG X1 root certificate is self-signed but it's definitely not what I'd call a 'private CA'; see https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/
