cert-manager is the easiest way to automatically manage certificates in Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters.

v1.10.2 is primarily a performance enhancement release which might reduce memory consumption by up to 50% in some cases thanks to some brilliant work by @irbekrm! 🎉

It also patches several vulnerabilities reported by scanners and updates the base images used for cert-manager containers. In addition, it removes a potentially confusing log line which had been introduced in v1.10.0 which implied that an error had occurred when using external issuers even though there'd been no error.
