ingress-shim
This is a small binary that can be run alongside any cert-manager deployment
in order to automatically create Certificate resources for Ingresses when a
particular annotation is found on an ingress resource.
This allows users to consume certificates from cert-manager without having to
manually create Certificate resources, i.e. in a similar fashion to kube-lego.
It has been developed outside of the core of cert-manager as it is an
experiment to assess the best way to implement this sort of functionality.
Project status
This project is experimental, and thus should not be relied upon in a
production environment. This tool may change in backwards incompatible ways.
In the future, the functionality of this tool may be merged into cert-manager
itself to provide a more seamless experience for users.
