Description

Bug description

We are unable to use self-signed certs on GKE due to a limitation on the GKE side: you cannot allow containerd to trust other certificates without restarting containerd.

This issue was created to gather data about this problem.

Steps to reproduce

Try to use self-signed certs on a self-hosted installation running on GKE

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing the GKE and containerd certificate-trust limitation described in the issue and the existing comments for constraints or a proposed direction. Done would require a clearly supported resolution for self-signed certificates on self-hosted GKE installations.
