EV SSL Certificate in Kubernetes

Question

I want to provision an EV SSL certificate for a service that I want to run on Kubernetes.

The certificate authority that I want to use requires to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on the server where the certificate will be installed.

How do I do this for a service that I want to deploy on Kubernetes?

Answer 1

Keep the private key which is generated when you create the CSR.

A super super simple example of doing this with the OpenSSL command:

openssl req –new –newkey rsa:2048 –nodes –keyout server.key –out server.csr
