Cloudflare's Origin CA allows you to generate free, trusted SSL certificates specifically for your origin server (your Kubernetes cluster). This eliminates the need for public CAs like Let's Encrypt. You install the Origin CA certificate in your Kubernetes cluster, and Cloudflare automatically issues and renews certificates for your domain. This simplifies certificate management significantly, especially for internal or development environments.
