Docs Self-Managed Manage Kubernetes Security TLS Encryption This is documentation for Self-Managed v23.2, which is no longer supported. To view the latest available version of the docs, see v24.2. TLS for Redpanda in Kubernetes Redpanda clusters can use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure internal and external communications with clients and other brokers. In the Redpanda Helm chart, TLS is enabled by default for all internal and external listeners, using self-signed certificates managed by cert-manager. You can configure the chart to use your own certificates with or without cert-manager. Use cert-manager to manage TLS certificates Learn how to enable TLS encryption in your Redpanda cluster and use cert-manager to simplify the process of obtaining, renewing, and using certificates. Use Kubernetes Secrets to manage TLS certificates Create TLS files and store them in Kubernetes Secret resources to configure Redpanda listeners with TLS certificates.
