Install KubeVela with cert-manager

By default, KubeVela will use a self-signed certificate provided by kube-webhook-certgen for admissionWebhooks. You can also use cert-manager if it's available. Note that you need to install cert-manager before the KubeVela chart.

helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --namespace cert-manager --version v1.2.0 --create-namespace --set installCRDs=true

Install kubevela with enabled certmanager:
