# Kubernetes Certificate Manager

This is not an official Google Project.

## Features

* Manage Kubernetes TLS secrets backed by Let's Encrypt issued certificates.

* Manage [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org) issued certificates based on Kubernetes ThirdParty Resources.

* Domain validation using ACME [dns-01 challenges](https://letsencrypt.github.io/acme-spec/#rfc.section.7.4).

* Support for multiple DNS providers via [dns-01 exec plugins](https://github.com/kelseyhightower/dns01-exec-plugins)

> The secrets created by the Kubernetes Certificate Manager can be used to configure any TLS terminating load balancer.

## Project Goals

* Demonstrate how to build custom Kubernetes controllers.

* Demonstrate how to use Kubernetes [Third Party Resources](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.3/docs/design/extending-api.md).

* Demonstrate how to interact with the Kubernetes API (watches, reconciliation, etc).

* Demonstrate how to write great documentation for Kubernetes add-ons and extensions.

* Promote the usage of Let's Encrypt for securing web applications running on Kubernetes.

## Popular Forks

The Kubernetes Certificate Manager has inspired many projects which have added new features and additional domain validation methods.
