+Kubernetes requires PKI certificates for authentication over TLS.
+If you install Kubernetes with [kubeadm](/docs/reference/setup-tools/kubeadm/kubeadm/), the certificates that your cluster requires are automatically generated.
+You can also generate your own certificates -- for example, to keep your private keys more secure by not storing them on the API server.
+This page explains the certificates that your cluster requires. 
+-->
+Kubernetes 需要 PKI 证书才能通过 TLS 进行身份验证。如果使用 [kubeadm](/docs/reference/setup-tools/kubeadm/kubeadm/) 安装 Kubernetes，集群所需的证书会被自动生成。
+您还可以生成自己的证书——例如，通过不将私钥保存在 API 服务器上，来更安全地保护它们。。
+此页面说明了集群所需的证书。

+## 集群如何使用证书

+Kubernetes requires PKI for the following operations: 
+-->
+Kubernetes 在执行以下操作时需要相应的证书：
+
+<!-- 
+* Client certificates for the kubelet to authenticate to the API server
+* Server certificate for the API server endpoint
+* Client certificates for administrators of the cluster to authenticate to the API server
+* Client certificates for the API server to talk to the kubelets
+* Client certificate for the API server to talk to etcd
+* Client certificate/kubeconfig for the controller manager to talk to the API server
+* Client certificate/kubeconfig for the scheduler to talk to the API server.
+* Client and server certificates for the [front-proxy][proxy]

+* 客户端证书，供 kubelet 访问 API 服务器时的身份验证使用
+* API 服务器端点的服务器证书
+* 客户端证书，供集群管理员访问 API 服务器时的身份验证之用
+* API 服务器与 kubelet 通信所需的客户端证书
+* API 服务器与 etcd 通信所需的客户端证书
+* 客户端证书/kubeconfig，供控制器管理器与 API 服务器通信
+* 客户端证书/kubeconfig，供调度器与 API 服务器通信。
+* [front-proxy][proxy] 的客户端和服务器证书
+

+<!-- 
+`front-proxy` certificates are required only if you run kube-proxy to support [an extension API server](/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/setup-extension-api-server/). 
+-->
+仅在您使用 kube-proxy 来支持 [一个扩展 API 服务器](/docs/tasks/access-kubernetes-api/setup-extension-api-server/) 时才需要 `front-proxy` 证书。

+etcd 还实现了双向 TLS 来验证客户端和对等端。

+## 证书在何处存储
+
+<!-- 
+If you install Kubernetes with kubeadm, certificates are stored in `/etc/kubernetes/pki`. All paths in this documentation are relative to that directory.

+如果使用 kubeadm 安装 Kubernetes，证书将存储在 `/etc/kubernetes/pki` 目录中。 本文档中的所有路径，都是与该目录的相对路径。

+## 手动配置证书
+
+<!-- 
+If you don't want kubeadm to generate the required certificates, you can create them in either of the following ways.

+如果您不希望 kubeadm 生成所需的证书，可以使用以下任一方法创建它们。
