Hard to believe you used to have to pay for a TLS certificate. I use Let’s Encrypt with cert-manager on my kubernetes cluster and it still amazes me how SSL just happens. Even just using certbot makes the job extremely simple.
For cert-manager to work you need to have the ingress controller port (or I guess another port) exposed publicly? Or it supports DNS verification? I thought about doing this, but I am essentially having my cluster fully in a private network which I connect with wireguard from outside, but maybe I should reconsider?
I am keen to know a little bit more about your setup
There’s no question in my mind, letsencrypt is a major boon the the entire Internet.

There even are still some (shitty) webhosts that require payment for a TLS certificate, because they refuse to support letsencrypt.
