Hello Everyone,
i have some Problems with the manual renewal from cert-manager (lets-encrypt) certificates in an azure aks cluster.
In this case i found tutorials where the user uses cmctl (cert-manager command line tool) to handle his certificates in aks
But i don´t can use this tool because the azure cli doesn´t have it installed. Is there a known way to install or use it in azure aks ?
If it´s not possible is there any other way to renew a certifiacte manually ?
many thx

I found the Solution ...
I must use the cli in Powershell with the command az instead of use Azure cli in Terminal. Then cmctl was available .

Issue:
I'm running into problems with manual renewal in AKS using cert-manager and Let's Encrypt. The tutorial I'm following uses cmctl (the cert-manager command line tool) to handle certificates in AKS but I can't use this because it's not installed. Is there a way I can use this with AKS?
Solution (provided by @Klinger, Florian ):
In this instance, I was able to use the CLI in PowerShell with the AZ command where cmctl was available instead of Azure CLI.
Additional Information:
