We use `certificateAuthority(int)` to create certificates that can sign other certificates. The
int specifies how many intermediate certificates are allowed beneath it in the chain.

CSR, certificates are written to disk and mTLS is used for future requests. If the VM restarted, it would continue
to use the certificates written to disk, assuming the downtime is less than certificate expiration. This is why
the certificates are persisted to disk, rather than kept in memory like in the standard Kubernetes deployment.
