A crytographicly secure file used to validate access to the
kubernetes cluster
long-description: >
Certificates are used to enable applications within a kubernetes
cluster to access the kubernetes API securely. They validate that
clients are allowed to access the API.
The process of creating a valid certificate includes creating a
Certificate Signing Request, and having that approved by the
kubernetes adminstrator using the ``kubectl certificate`` command.
