Hello and welcome to this lecture on TLS Certificates in Kubernetes. Securing the cluster with TLS and troubleshooting
TLS related issues can be especially difficult if you are not familiar with the basics of TLS certificates
We sent out a Poll during the creation of this course about your knowledge on TLS Certificates.
Most of you got back to us saying you had no clue about it or were not very comfortable with it.
So we decided to put together a set of lectures that will help you gain enough knowledge to work with
certificates in kubernetes. And of course these lectures will help you otherwise as well. If you are comfortable
with this concept, feel free to skip the pre-requisite lectures and head straight over to the
ones relevant to kubernetes.
By the end of this section you should be an expert when it comes to working with certificates in general
as well as with kubernetes.
You should be able to easily configure and troubleshoot issues related to certificates. And the only
way to do it, as I understand, is to learn and understand how it works in and out. And thatâ€™s what we are
going to do in this section.
We will start with the basics of certificates in general.
If you are already comfortable with certificates, certificate authorities and how they work
feel free to skip this lecture and go over to the next where we discuss this in the kubernetes terms.
