Fetch certificates from the SPIRE agent:

kubectl -n spire exec $(kubectl -n spire get pod -o name | grep -o 'spire-agent.*$') -- /opt/spire/spire-agent api fetch -socketPath /spire/socket/agent.sock -write /root && kubectl -n spire cp $(kubectl -n spire get pod -o name | grep -o 'spire-agent.*$'):/root .

Register workloads:

kubectl exec $(kubectl get pod -o name | grep -o 'spire-server.*$') -- /opt/spire/spire-server register -parentID spiffe://cloudid.qaware.de/k8s/node/minikube -spiffeID spiffe://cloudid.qaware.de/host/workload -selector k8s:ns:default

• Ingress does not work on Minikube with TLS-protected backends on Minikube up
