Is it possible for GFE to use a managed certs to establish TLS with mesh ingress on GKE?

44 views Asked by At

I'm trying ASM(Anthos Service Mesh) to create a service mesh in the GKE.

I'm looking at the following steps, but do we need to use a self-signed certificate here?

In the following steps, you generate and install a certificate (as a Kubernetes secret resource) that enables the GFE to establish a TLS connection to the service mesh's ingress gateway. https://cloud.google.com/architecture/exposing-service-mesh-apps-through-gke-ingress/deployment#install_the_self-signed_ingress_gateway_certificate

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: Gateway
metadata:
    name: asm-ingressgateway
    namespace: asm-ingress
spec:
  selector:
    asm: ingressgateway
  servers:
  - port:
      number: 443
      name: https
      protocol: HTTPS
    hosts:
    - "*" # IMPORTANT: Must use wildcard here when using SSL, see note below
    tls:
      mode: SIMPLE
      credentialName: edge2mesh-credential # <- HERE

It would be easier to manage if I could replace it with the GKE ManagedCertificate or the GCP Managed SSL Certificate.

The GKE mode is autopilot, so we can't use ASM Gateway. It seems ASM Gateway can use networking.gke.io/pre-shared-certs: $GCP_COMPUTE_MANAGED_SSL_CERTIFICATE.
