Crypto-Agility and Preparing Now for Post-Quantum Cryptography

Kubernetes is a highly complex environment to secure and native security controls offered by Kubernetes and other open-source solutions often fall short. 

PKI-based TLS certificates are highly-recommended for Kubernetes security. With identities, authentication, and encryption - TLS certificates offer an effective way of securing multiple layers in Kubernetes, encompassing the Ingress traffic, Service Mesh and pod-to-pod communications, and Kubernetes infrastructure components. 

However, managing a high-volume of short-lived TLS certificates in Kubernetes is not easy. Issuing certificates at DevOps speed while ensuring certificates are valid, secure, and compliant, can become extremely daunting for security teams. 

The key to navigating these challenges and bringing security up to speed with DevOps lies in simplifying certificate lifecycle management for Kubernetes.
