Asked by Karthik Mynam
I have some NodeJS based internal backend services running on Kubernetes. I would like to use a SSL certificate for those services.
Model:
Browser -> SSL -> Load Balancer -> SSL -> Web App - Need SSL here -> Backend service
Backend service is a nodejs app using ClusterIp.
Any pointers on how to go about?
Thanks, Karthik

Hello,
One way to do this would be to generate a self-signed SSL certificate.
You can do that by following the instructions from step 2 from this tutorial here:

Hope that this helps!
