The Ingress controller uses this secret to terminate TLS connections.\n\n**Your task:**\n\n1. A self-signed TLS certificate has been pre-generated at `/tmp/tls.crt` and `/tmp/tls.key`.\n2. A deployment `tls-app` and service `tls-svc` are already running.\n3. Create a **TLS Secret** named `app-tls` from the cert files.\n4.
