Trust CA certificate on istio level

3/14/2019

I am using kubernetes and istio.

I need to call https service outside my mesh, and this called service using internal CA authority, which mean I need to trust the server side certificate.

Can I trust the certificate on istio level instead of each micro-service?

you can do it using cert-manager & ingress probably which will manage the ssl certificates :

you can check it out more at :

you can also refer documents of istio where there option for HTTPS for managed gateway: https://istio.io/docs/tasks/traffic-management/secure-ingress/
