Kubernetes Cert-Manager-Atlas Integration
Overview
Cert-Manager is an open source project—originally created by Jetstack—that manages X.509 certificates specifically for cloud-native Kubernetes or OpenShift environments. And as noted in a CNCF blog published earlier in the year, this functionality has become important for those operating cloud-native environments to secure Orchestration resources.
The popularity of Cert-Manager comes from the fact that it solves a genuine problem for developers who want to use a solution that automates a development task that frees them to focus on building better and faster. As such, development team productivity increases, security is better managed, and web applications perform better.
- A popular tool used for managing and automating identities for cloud native environments.
- Over 5 million downloads a day.
- Cert-Manager was highlighted as being the go-to platform for secrets management among Kubernetes users.
