+# SSL/TLS Certificate Management
+
+This directory contains Kubernetes manifests for managing SSL/TLS certificates using cert-manager and Let's Encrypt.
+
+## Components
+
+### cert-manager
+- **Purpose**: Automated certificate management
+- **Namespace**: cert-manager
+- **Installation**: Via official cert-manager release
+
+### ClusterIssuers
+- **letsencrypt-prod**: Production Let's Encrypt issuer
+- **letsencrypt-staging**: Staging Let's Encrypt issuer (for testing)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Kubernetes cluster** with ingress controller (nginx-ingress recommended)
+2. **cert-manager** installed in the cluster
+3. **DNS records** pointing to your ingress controller
+4. **Ingress controller** with HTTP-01 challenge support
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Install cert-manager
+
+```bash
+# Install cert-manager CRDs
+kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.13.0/cert-manager.crds.yaml
+
+# Install cert-manager
+kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.13.0/cert-manager.yaml
+
+# Or using Helm
+helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
+helm repo update
+helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \
+  --namespace cert-manager \
+  --create-namespace \
+  --set installCRDs=true
+```
+
+### 2. Verify cert-manager Installation
+
+```bash
+# Check cert-manager pods
+kubectl get pods -n cert-manager
+
+# Check ClusterIssuers
+kubectl get clusterissuers
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Let's Encrypt Issuers
+
+**Important**: Update the email address in `letsencrypt-issuer.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+email: ops@veza.com  # Change to your email
+```
+
+Then apply:
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f k8s/certificates/letsencrypt-issuer.yaml
+```
+
+### 4. Verify ClusterIssuers
+
+```bash
+# Check ClusterIssuers status
+kubectl get clusterissuers
+
+# Describe to see details
+kubectl describe clusterissuer letsencrypt-prod
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Automatic Certificate via Ingress
+
+The easiest way is to use Ingress annotations. The ingress is already configured in `k8s/ingress.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
+spec:
+  tls:
+  - hosts:
+    - app.veza.com
+    - api.veza.com
+    secretName: veza-tls
+```
+
+When you apply the ingress, cert-manager will automatically:
+1. Create a Certificate resource
+2. Request certificate from Let's Encrypt
+3. Store it in the specified secret
+4. Renew it automatically before expiration
+
+### Manual Certificate Request
+
+You can also create a Certificate resource manually:
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f k8s/certificates/certificate-example.yaml
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+### Check Certificate Status
+
+```bash
+# List certificates
+kubectl get certificates -n veza-production
+
+# Describe certificate to see status
+kubectl describe certificate veza-tls -n veza-production
+
+# Check certificate events
+kubectl get events -n veza-production --field-selector involvedObject.name=veza-tls
+```
+
+### Check Certificate Secret
+
+```bash
+# List TLS secrets
+kubectl get secrets -n veza-production | grep tls
+
+# View certificate details (base64 encoded)
+kubectl get secret veza-tls -n veza-production -o yaml
+```
+
+### Test Certificate
+
+```bash
+# Port forward to ingress
+kubectl port-forward service/ingress-nginx-controller 8443:443 -n ingress-nginx
+
+# Test with curl
+curl -v https://localhost:8443 -k --resolve app.veza.com:8443:127.0.0.1
+
+# Or check certificate expiration
+echo | openssl s_client -servername app.veza.com -connect app.veza.com:443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -dates
+```
+
+## Staging vs Production
+
+### Use Staging for Testing
+
+When testing certificate issuance, use the staging issuer first:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-staging
+```
+
+Staging certificates:
+- Don't count against rate limits
+- Are not trusted by browsers (expected)
+- Useful for testing the setup
+
+### Switch to Production
+
+Once staging works, switch to production:
+
+```yaml
+annotations:
+  cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Certificate Not Issued
+
+1. **Check cert-manager logs**:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl logs -n cert-manager deployment/cert-manager
+   kubectl logs -n cert-manager deployment/cert-manager-webhook
+   kubectl logs -n cert-manager deployment/cert-manager-cainjector
+   ```
+
+2. **Check Certificate status**:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl describe certificate veza-tls -n veza-production
+   ```
+
+3. **Check CertificateRequest**:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl get certificaterequests -n veza-production
+   kubectl describe certificaterequest <name> -n veza-production
+   ```
+
+4. **Check Challenge**:
+   ```bash
+   kubectl get challenges -n veza-production
+   kubectl describe challenge <name> -n veza-production
+   ```
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Issue**: Certificate pending
+- **Cause**: DNS not pointing to ingress, or ingress controller not accessible
+- **Solution**: Verify DNS records and ingress controller accessibility
+
+**Issue**: Rate limit exceeded
+- **Cause**: Too many certificate requests to Let's Encrypt
+- **Solution**: Use staging issuer for testing, wait for rate limit reset
+
+**Issue**: HTTP-01 challenge failing
+- **Cause**: Ingress not accessible on port 80, or wrong ingress class
+- **Solution**: Verify ingress controller is accessible and annotation matches
+
+**Issue**: Certificate secret not created
+- **Cause**: Certificate request failed
+- **Solution**: Check certificate status and cert-manager logs
+
+### Debug Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check all cert-manager resources
+kubectl get certificates,certificaterequests,challenges -n veza-production
+
+# Check ClusterIssuer status
+kubectl describe clusterissuer letsencrypt-prod
+
+# Check ingress annotations
+kubectl get ingress veza-ingress -n veza-production -o yaml
+
+# Check cert-manager pods
+kubectl get pods -n cert-manager
+
+# View cert-manager controller logs
+kubectl logs -n cert-manager -l app=cert-manager --tail=100
+```
+
+## Certificate Renewal
+
+cert-manager automatically renews certificates before expiration (default: 30 days before expiry).
+
+### Manual Renewal
+
+```bash
+# Delete the certificate to force renewal
+kubectl delete certificate veza-tls -n veza-production
+
+# cert-manager will automatically recreate it
+```
+
+### Check Expiration
+
+```bash
+# View certificate expiration
+kubectl get certificate veza-tls -n veza-production -o jsonpath='{.status.notAfter}'
+
+# Or decode and view
+kubectl get secret veza-tls -n veza-production -o jsonpath='{.data.tls\.crt}' | base64 -d | openssl x509 -noout -dates
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use staging first**: Test with staging issuer before production
+2. **Monitor certificates**: Set up alerts for certificate expiration
+3. **Backup secrets**: Backup certificate secrets for disaster recovery
+4. **Multiple domains**: Use wildcard certificates for multiple subdomains
+5. **DNS-01 for wildcards**: Use DNS-01 challenge for wildcard certificates
