Kubernetes cert-manager + LetsEncrypt + F5

Hi there I have a confession. I'm running a virtual F5 at home as a lab device and ingress controller but it does not have any legitimate management certificate. <Pause for rotten tomatoes...> ...

After 3 years from my tests CIS still seems to not detect that cert manager has updated the secret holding the certificates . Patrik_Jonsson​ I think I am correct about this one as I just tested it?

 

JRahm​  if the cert manager creates the certs and then saves them to a secret needing to push them to Vault and then to BIG-IP seems complex. A cronjob can always be used that has a container with "curl" but I was hopping CIS to be able to monitor the secret for a change like Nginx Ingress monitors the secrets for it's certificates.
