+=== Service Serving Certificate Secrets
+
+To secure communication to your service, you can have the cluster generate a signed
+serving certificate/key pair into a secret in your namespace.  To do this, set the
+"*service.alpha.openshift.io/serving-cert-secret-name*" to the name you want to use
+for your secret.  Your PodSpec can then mount that secret and when it is available
+your pod will run.  The certificate will be good for the internal service DNS name:
+`*<service.name>.<service.namespace>.svc*`.  The certificate and key are in PEM format, 
+stored in `*tls.crt*` and `*tls.key*` respectively.
+
+Other pods can trust cluster-created certificates (which are only signed for internal
+DNS names), by using the CA bundle in the `*/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/service-ca.crt*`
+file that is automatically mounted in their pod.
