## Let's Encrypt

Before Let's Encrypt, these **HTTPS certificates** were sold by trusted third parties.

The process to acquire one of these certificates used to be cumbersome, require quite some paperwork and the certificates were quite expensive.

But then **<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Let's Encrypt</a>** was created.

## 1. Prerequisites

- Familiarity with [MinIO deployment process on Kubernetes](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/installation.html).

- Kubernetes cluster with `kubectl` configured.

- Acquire TLS certificates, either from a CA or [create self-signed certificates](https://min.io/docs/minio/kubernetes/upstream/operations/network-encryption.html).
