<p>Not Sure why I'm getting Fake certificate, even the certificate is properly issued by <strong>Let's Encrypt</strong> using <strong>certmanager</strong></p>

<p>The setup is running on the Alibaba Cloud ECS console, where one Kube-master and one cube-minion form a Kubernetes cluster.</p>

<p>Maybe would be helpful for someone experiencing similar issues. As for me, a forgot to specify hostname in Ingress yaml file for both <code>rules</code> and <code>tls</code> sections.
After duplicating the hostname, it started responding with a proper certificate.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: test-web-ingress
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
spec:
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - my.host.com                # &lt;----
    secretName: tls-secret
  rules:
    - host: my.host.com          # &lt;----
      http:

          - path: /
            pathType: Prefix
