Description

We are using cert-controller library for bootstrapping of webhookserver in our cluster. We'd like to reduce the certificate validity duration to comply with our security policies.

I see there is already an open issue for this. I can raise a pull request and add an option to either configure this or use the default 10 years validity.

Research direction

Start by reading the related issue 29 and the cert-controller paths responsible for bootstrapping the webhookserver. Trace how certificate validity is currently selected and determine the configuration surface needed. Done means callers can reduce the validity duration while the default remains 10 years.
