Configuring the Kubernetes integration¶

The interface between a cert-manager instance and Venafi Cloud is configured via a cert-manager issuer. The issuer contains a reference to a Kubernetes secret that contains your Venafi Cloud API key as well as the zone that will be used by the cert-manager plugin to request certificates. The ‘cloudsecret’ field contains the name of the Kubernetes secret that contains your API key. The ‘zone’ field contains the name of the zone.

    apiVersion: certmanager.k8s.io/v1alpha1
    kind: Issuer
    metadata:
      name: cloud-devops-issuer
      namespace: cert-manager-example
    spec:
        Venafi:
            cloudsecret: clouddevsecret
            zone: "Default"

• Use Your Parameters on the Automation page to determine which zone should be used to issue certificates.
