Automate Certificate Management and Build Security into Containerized Workloads

Simplify certificate lifecycle management across complex Kubernetes environments with AVX ONE CLM for Kubernetes.

Manual certificate management doesn’t measure up in terms of speed, agility or security

Limited Visibility and Control

Security teams have limited visibility and control over the certificates used by DevOps teams to protect code repositories, within CI/CD pipelines and across containerized environments.

Ad Hoc Processes

Ad hoc certificate provisioning leads to inconsistencies, misconfigurations and non-compliant certificates that create security weaknesses and compliance issues.

Lack of Agility and Scalability

Requesting, issuing and binding short-lived certificates manually is slow, time consuming and impossible to scale across multi-cloud and multi-cluster environments.

Limited Integration Support

Lack of direct integrations force developers to work outside of their DevOps tool sets, further hindering productivity and continuous deployment.

It’s a battle between agility and security when DevOps and SecOps teams aren’t aligned

Low Productivity

Manually requesting and managing short-lived certificates for daily operations is a significant burden to DevOps teams that are already strapped for time and resources.

Security Risks and Non Compliance

For the sake of speed, developers often use self-signed certificates, unapproved CAs or weak crypto standards—violating corporate policies. Manual certificate provisioning is error-prone and can leave an entire system vulnerable to a cyberattack.

Siloed Teams

Security teams are challenged to keep up with the fast-paced demands of DevOps, while trying to maintain visibility and enforce compliant PKI policies. DevOps teams struggle to balance development timelines with rigid security requirements.

Disruptive Outages

Rogue and mismanaged certificates lead to unexpected certificate expirations causing outages and security weaknesses, which can impact operations and lead to significant financial losses.

Simplify certificate lifecycle management for Kubernetes and containers with AVX ONE CLM for Kubernetes

Complete Visibility

• Discover and manage all SSL/TLS certificates across any major Kubernetes platform including cloud provider solutions (EKS, AKS, GKE) and hybrid/on-prem solutions (Openshift, Tanzu, Rancher)
• Build granular certificate inventories including cluster name, namespace and secret etc. that are automatically segmented by enterprise-wide Kubernetes teams

End-to-End Automation

• Automate the entire certificate lifecycle - from certificate enrollment to provisioning and renewal for TLS/mTLS certificates used across ingress, service mesh, Kubernetes infrastructure and within ephemeral pod volumes
• Accelerate DevOps processes through seamless integrations with DevOps and CI/CD tools, secrets managers and service mesh providers
• Ensure crypto agility with the ability to automatically request, revoke, renew or replace certificates that are backed by policy

Boost Productivity

• Automate certificate provisioning for short lived workloads that are spun up and down at speed and scale
• Promote speed and agility with self-service orchestration and fast issuance of SecOps validated certificates
• Eliminate the need to run internal PKI, with turnkey enterprise-grade private PKIaaS

Prevent Application Outages

• Stay on top of certificate expirations with actionable alerts and zero-touch auto-renewal policies
• Define ownership and delegate management responsibility across various enterprise-wide Kubernetes teams to prevent expired certificates from causing outages

Continuous Compliance

• Create standardized policies to control the use of approved Certificate Authorities (CAs), certificate validity periods, key sizes, algorithms, etc.
• Enforce granular role-based access control (RBAC) and approval workflows to restrict access and enable security-controlled certificate issuance
• Generate reports and logs for easy audits and compliance validation
