Here’s a powershell script to generate a Let’s Encrypt certificate and upload that certificate to your Nutanix cluster and/or Prism Central.

I want my clusters to be available via:

  • cluster-a.tielenconsultancy.nl
  • cluster-b.tielenconsultancy.nl
  • cluster-c.tielenconsultancy.nl
  • tielanix.tielenconsultancy.nl (This is Prism Central)

The tielenconsultancy.nl domain is avaiable on the internet and internal. The clusters aren’t available via the internet offcourse 😉

So this will only work if you have a public domain where you can add a cname record pointing to a code Let’s Encrypt will provide. On the internal DNS server you can make the a records pointing to clusters virtual ip’s.

Read the comments in the script, they will explain everything. (Renewing will be added later when my certificates expire :P)

NOTE 1: Only for the community edition 😉 Dont use it on you production clusters.

NOTE 2: I’m using a wildcard certificate. This is not recommended anymore ;).
