The hidden cost of "just using Kubernetes"

Kubernetes has become the default foundation for a lot of modern application infrastructure. It’s powerful, flexible, and widely supported, which makes it an obvious starting point for many teams building a cloud-native application platform (a standardized way for teams to deploy, run, secure, and operate applications in production).

Your servers shouldn't need to know ACME

CertBot assumes every server that needs a certificate should also know how to request one, validate domain ownership, handle renewals, and manage failures. This makes sense with a handful of servers. One server, one cert, done. But infrastructures grow. Now you’ve got web farms sharing wildcards, load balancers, mail servers, VPN appliances.
