Description

As discussed at https://youtu.be/JMCCeAb9eY4?t=1h41s, using the common name "root" for the root client inside a Kubernetes cluster is a bad idea, because it could potentially give the certificate root access to the Kubernetes cluster itself (given that we're using the Kubernetes cluster's CA). We should try to scope this down using some other common name if possible.
