Deploy cert-manager

In this section you will deploy cert-manager and configure it to use a self-signed ClusterIssuer.

What You'll Need

• A configured management environment.
• Your clone of the Arrikto GitOps repository.
• An existing AKS cluster.

Procedure

1. Go to your GitOps repository, inside your rok-tools management environment:

   root@rok-tools:/# cd ~/ops/deployments
   

2. Install cert-manager resources along with a self-signed ClusterIssuer:

   root@rok-tools:~/ops/deployments# rok-deploy --apply rok/cert-manager/cert-manager/overlays/deploy
   

Verify

1. Verify that cert-manager is up-and-running. Check pod status and verify field STATUS is Running and field READY is 1/1 for all Pods:

   root@rok-tools:~/ops/deployments# kubectl -n cert-manager get pods
   NAME                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   cert-manager-58bcc6fc8c-s4bm7              1/1     Running   0          1m
   cert-manager-cainjector-54ffb448d4-tkt9s   1/1     Running   0          1m
   cert-manager-webhook-6d749899cf-9kjj6      1/1     Running   0          1m

You have successfully installed cert-manager and configured it with a self-signed ClusterIssuer.
