Why is this necessary?

The UserWise infrastructure stack makes use of AWS provisioned Load Balancers, which direct traffic to our Kubernetes cluster.

How do we get our certificateUuid?

The certificateUuid is part of the values.yml file included in the userwise-self-hosted repository. The UUID is equivalent to the Certificate ID in Certificate Manager.

The ID can be found directly within AWS Certificate Manager, within the List Certificates page.

 

How do we request a certificate?

  1. Search for “Certificate Manager” in the AWS Dashboard’s top search bar, and select the appropriate service.

  1. Click “Request”

  1. Request a Public Certificate, and click “Next”

  1. Fill out your “Fully qualified domain name”, then click request at the bottom of the page.

You can optionally change the remaining fields to fit your circumstances. Generally, the default is good.

You can use *.mydomain.com to request a wildcard sub-domain certificate as well.

  1. Ensure you follow all validation steps. Once completed, issuance should occur within a couple minutes.
