caution

出于商业决定移除了 EAB #897

smallstep/certificates
- Apache-2.0, Go
- CA, ACME server
smallstep/cli
kubernetes
- step-certificates https://hub.helm.sh/charts/smallstep/step-certificates
- smallstep/autocert
  - 注入 TLS/HTTPS 证书到容器
参考
- Everything you should know about certificates and PKI but are too afraid to ask
- The case for using TLS everywhere
step-ca
- 支持数据库 Badger, BoltDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL
  - 目前正在将 NoSQL 调整为 SQL 逻辑 - 会支持更多 DB smallstep/certificates#282
支持的运行模式
- 离线 - 不启动服务，离线管理证书
- 在线 - 启动 step-ca，提供接口能力
- RA - Registration Authority
  - RA 作为 CA 的前端
  - 例如为 Vault 提供 ACMEv2 server 的能力

tip

vault 不支持作为 acme server，如果需要私有化 acme 可以考虑 step-ca
- hashicorp/vault#8690
- step-ca 支持将 vault 作为 RA/registration authority
- 也可以使用 letsencrypt/boulder
