CFP: Support TLS for Cilium metrics endpoint

Hi @chancez

I’m new to Cilium development but I’m eager to jump in and contribute! I have a cilium setup in my local. I wanted to work on this issue. Can you please guide me to work on this issue what should I learn and what are the necessary changes that are required? Also if I made the changes how I will be able to test those etc?

Hey @Mukul1235 thanks for your interest, however we're aiming to get this feature into Cilium 1.16 before our feature freeze in a few weeks so I'm assigning this to an existing contributor to get this expedited.

@Mukul1235 feel free to pick this up, we decided we didn't need this immediately for the upcoming release.

Hi @chancez Is it also necessary to implement a feature similar to this cilium/certgen#199 in certgen to fix this issue?

[chancez]

@chaunceyjiang probably yes, though it's a bit unclear since it's currently only being used for Hubble related certificates and we've discussed making certgen logic bit less hard-coded to each component, but nothing concrete has been decided on how we want to approach it.
