TLS¶

A Kuadrant TLSPolicy custom resource:

Targets Gateway API networking resources Gateways to provide tls for gateway listeners by managing the lifecycle of tls certificates using CertManager.

How it works¶

The TLSPolicy custom resource¶

Overview¶

The TLSPolicy spec includes the following parts:

A reference to an existing Gateway API resource (spec.targetRef)

High-level example and field definition¶

apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1
kind: TLSPolicy
metadata:
  name: my-tls-policy
spec:
  # reference to an existing networking resource to attach the policy to
  # it can only be a Gateway API Gateway resource
  # it can only refer to objects in the same namespace as the TLSPolicy
  targetRef:
    group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
    kind: Gateway
    name: mygateway

Check out the API reference for a full specification of the TLSPolicy CRD.

Using the TLSPolicy¶

Targeting a Gateway networking resource¶

When a TLSPolicy targets a Gateway, the policy will be enforced on all gateway listeners that have a valid TLS section.

Target a Gateway by setting the spec.targetRef field of the TLSPolicy as follows:

apiVersion: kuadrant.io/v1
kind: TLSPolicy
metadata:
  name: <TLSPolicy name>
spec:
  targetRef:
    group: gateway.networking.k8s.io
    kind: Gateway
    name: <Gateway Name>
