Creating TLS Certs for a Bare Metal Cloud

Before I build out my Bare Metal Cloud, I'll create TLS certificates that will be use to encrypt everything in transit!

In this in-depth tutorial, we use OpenSSL to establish a complete Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) for a self-hosted cloud environment. Learn step-by-step how to create and manage your own three-tier Chain of Trust: the Root CA, the Intermediate/Subordinate CA, and a Wildcard Leaf Certificate to secure multiple subdomains like `*.heavymetalcloud.lan`.

To follow along, check out my GitHub page! All the commands and instructions from this video are in a README file:
