<p>I have a kubernetes cluster and I've been experimenting so far with cert-manager and letsencrypt ssl certificates.</p>
<p>Everything goes fine, I have issued an SSL certificate and applied to the cluster and https connection is working excellent.</p>
<p>The problem I face is that I am experimenting with new things and it often leads me to delete the whole cluster and create a new fresh one, which on it's side makes me lose the SSL certificate and issue a new one, but there's a rate limit by 50 certificates per week per domain.</p>
<p>Is there a way I can reuse a certificate in a new k8s cluster?</p>

<p>Copy the secret locally (<code>kubectl get secret -o yaml</code> and then clean up unneeded fields) and then upload it to the new cluster (<code>kubectl apply</code>).</p>
