kube-rsa

kube-rsa

kube-rsa generates self-signed TLS certificates for Kubernetes. kube-rsa does not manage TLS certificates and should only be used for testing and basic bootstrapping.

The generated certs can be used to secure connections to the Kubernetes API server and generate service account tokens.

kube-rsa should not be used to manage client TLS certificates for authentication. Consider using a supported authentication method to limit access to the Kubernetes API server over a secure connection.

Usage

The following command will generate TLS certificates for serving secure connections from the Kubernetes API server and managing Kubernetes service account tokens.

$ kube-rsa --host=104.197.228.232,10.240.0.3

wrote ca.pem
wrote ca-key.pem
wrote apiserver.pem
wrote apiserver-key.pem
wrote service-account.pem
wrote service-account-key.pem

The first host entry set via the --host flag will be used as the CN, otherwise the CN will be set to 127.0.0.1.
