certificate to add to their trusted |CAs|. At installation time, the ``cert-manager/system-local-ca`` TLS Secret, which is
used for CA Signing by the ``system-local-ca`` ClusterIssuer, is initially set
to the Kubernetes Root CA. At installation time, the Kubernetes Root |CA| is
either auto-generated or explicitly set thru bootstrap playbook overrides (see
:ref:`kubernetes-root-ca-certificate`).
In a Distributed Cloud System, by default, the Subclouds are deployed with the
same Kubernetes Root |CA| and the same ``system-local-ca`` as the
SystemController.
.. note::
In order to change or renew the ``system-local-ca`` Secret for signing, the
``migrate_platform_certificates_to_certmanager.yml`` playbook MUST BE USED,
see :ref:`migrate-platform-certificates-to-use-cert-manager-c0b1727e4e5d`.
This playbook will update the ``system-local-ca`` Secret and Issuer, re-sign
all of the Platform Certificates using this issuer, and in a Distributed
Cloud environment iterate through all of the Subclouds and do the same
updates and re-signing on each Subcloud.
