Ah, the joys of Kubernetes wrangling – where even a "simple" cert swap feels like herding a bunch of ferrets on meth through a YAML labyrinth.

This article explains a fix to a - frankly possibly a little bit dumb - problem, where all kubectl commands suddenly throw an error along the lines of "couldn't get current server API group list: Get \"http://localhost:8080/api?

This article explains how to fix an error "NoRegisteredProviderFound", which is thrown by az cli's aks commands when you're trying to run pretty much any aks commands in PowerShell/Terminal.

Haha, another one of those "should've known it was this easy" in the books!

A while back I got a request to change the default certificate for an AKS cluster. A customer didn't like the "Kubernetes Fake Certificate" that's shown when no other matching certificates can be found, and they wanted it changed.

This article explains another small but significant gotcha you "just need to know" when working with certificates and certification authorities, and you - just like me - are for some reason still using Windows as your workhorse.

This post explains how to verify a private key (possibly a .key file) that you somehow got your hands on, that matches a certificate file (.cer) you also somehow are in possession of.
