Certificate Management with kubeadm — Set up a signer

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). The Kubernetes Certificate Authority does not work out of the box. You can configure an external signer such as cert-manager, or you can use the built-in signer. The built-in signer is part of kube-controller-manager. To activate the built-in signer, you must pass the --cluster-signing-cert-file and --cluster-signing-key-file flags. If you're creating a new cluster, you can use a kubeadm configuration file Attribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
