Working with Microservices-12: Setting Domain Name and TLS certificate for Production Pipeline using Route 53, Let’s Encrypt and Cert Manager

We will set “Domain Name”, create an “A record” in our hosted zone by using AWS Route 53 domain registrar for the microservices app, and then, bind it to our the “Kubernetes cluster of the app”. We will configure a TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificate for HTTPS connection to the domain name using Let’s Encrypt and Cert Manager. Thus, we will be able to provide a secure connection to our application on the Internet. We will do it all step by step.

Topics we will cover:

1. About Route 53, Let’s Encrypt, Cert Manager, and AWS Certificate Manager

2. Create an “A” record

3. Configure TLS/SSL certificate

4. Modifying ingress.yaml file

5. Checking output on the browser

6. Pushing created files to the remote repo (GitHub)
