Description

If you've configured mTLS on the various components (ie. provided --grpc_ca to vttablet in particular), vitess-operator will no longer be able to talk to it as vttablet will expect to receive a client certificate, which isn't an option in vitess-operator.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the operator connects to vttablet over gRPC and where connection options are configured. Compare the existing server CA configuration with the required client certificate and key settings; done means the operator can communicate with vttablet when mTLS is enabled.
