I setup up a prototype cluster in Azure Kubernetes Service to test the ability to configure HTTPS ingress with cert-manager. I was able to make everything work, now I'm ready to setup my production environment.
The problem is I used the sub domain name I needed (sub.domain.com) on the prototype and now I can't seem to make Let's Encrypt give a certificate to the production cluster.
I'm still very new to Kubernetes and I can't seem to find a way to export or move the certificate from one to the other.
Update:
It appears that the solution provided below would have worked, but it came down to needing to suspend/turnoff the prototype's virtual machine. Within a couple minutes the production environment picked up the certificate.
you can just do something like:
kubectl get secret -o yamland just copy\paste your certificate secret to a new cluster, or use something like heptio ark to do backup\restore.
ps. I dont know why it wouldn't let you create a new cert, at worst you would need to wait 7 days for your rate limit to refresh.
