Asked by CuriousDev123
Hey everyone, I'm curious about how you manage access to your clusters using client certificates. Are there any tools that can help with handling these certificates for a large group of developers? The process of creating and renewing certificates seems pretty cumbersome, and I'm looking for a more efficient approach. Thanks for any suggestions!

cert-manager is a fantastic tool for managing certificates. It automates the management of SSL/TLS certificates, which could save you a lot of time and effort.

Just a quick noteโ€”when you say, 'creating/renew certs not the imperial way,' what exactly do you mean by that? It sounds interesting!

Have you considered using OIDC (OpenID Connect)? It's a solid option for handling access control without the hassle of managing client certificates directly.
