- The CA cert will end up in the end user's kubeconfig on their client
machine, so if it changes they would need to fetch the new one and
update their kubeconfig. Therefore, we should avoid changing it as
much as possible.
- Now the controller writes the CA to a different Secret. It writes both
the cert and the key so it can reuse them to create more TLS
certificates in the future.
- For now, it only needs to make more TLS certificates if the old
TLS cert Secret gets deleted or updated to be invalid. This allows
for manual rotation of the TLS certs by simply deleting the Secret.
In the future, we may want to implement some kind of auto rotation.
- For now, rotation of both the CA and TLS certs will also happen if
you manually delete the CA Secret. However, this would cause the end
users to immediately need to get the new CA into their kubeconfig,
so this is not as elegant as a normal rotation flow where you would
have a window of time where you have more than one CA.
