pod-tls-sidecar

This projects aims to provide a simple sidecar container that can be used to issue TLS certificates to pods in a Kubernetes cluster using cert-manager.

FAQ

Why not use cert-manager directly?

The goal of this project is to allow you to dynamically issue certificates to pods based on the pod's identity. This is useful in cases where you want to issue certificates for mTLS between pods, or when you need to control the certificate fields based on the pod's identity.

Creating a Release

This project uses semantic versioning with version tags prefixed with v (e.g., v1.0.0, v1.2.3).

To create a new release using the GitHub CLI:

gh release create vX.Y.Z --generate-notes

This will:

• Create a new tag vX.Y.Z on the current branch
• Auto-generate release notes from merged pull requests and commits since the last release
• Publish the release to GitHub

Version Numbering

Follow semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH):

• MAJOR: Breaking changes or incompatible API changes
• MINOR: New features that are backwards compatible
• PATCH: Backwards compatible bug fixes
