+= Access the service CA bundle in the default config map
+
+A pod can access the service CA certificate by mounting the default
+`ConfigMap` object that exists in every namespace (project). The service CA
+certificate is in the `service-ca.crt` key of the `openshift-service-ca.crt`
+config map. Access to this CA certificate allows TLS clients to verify
+connections to services using service serving certificates.
+
+.Procedure
+
+. View the default config map:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+$ oc get configmap openshift-service-ca.crt -o yaml
+----
++
+The CA bundle is displayed as the value of the `service-ca.crt` key in the YAML output:
++
+[source,terminal]
+----
+apiVersion: v1
+data:
+  service-ca.crt: |
+    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+...
+----
+
+. Mount the config map as a volume to each container that exists in a pod by configuring your `Deployment` object.
++
+.Example Deployment object that defines the volume for the mounted config map
+[source,yaml]
+----
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: my-example-custom-ca-deployment
+  namespace: my-example-custom-ca-ns
+spec:
+  ...
+    spec:
+      ...
+      containers:
+        - name: my-container-that-needs-custom-ca
+          volumeMounts:
+          - name: trusted-ca
+            mountPath: /etc/pki/ca-trust/extracted/pem
+            readOnly: true
+      volumes:
+      - name: trusted-ca
+        configMap:
+          name: openshift-service-ca.crt <1>
+          items:
+            - key: ca-bundle.crt <2>
+              path: tls-ca-bundle.pem <3>
+# ...
+----
+<1> `openshift-service-ca.crt` is the name of the default config map.
+<2> `ca-bundle.crt` is required as the ConfigMap key.
+<3> `tls-ca-bundle.pem` is required as the ConfigMap path.
