 The webhook-only deployment includes:

 - CRDs (Custom Resource Definitions)
 - Webhook configurations (MutatingWebhookConfiguration and ValidatingWebhookConfiguration)

 ## Important Notes
 
-1. **RBAC**: Only the controller deployment includes RBAC permissions. The webhook deployment does not include RBAC or cert-manager configurations as requested.
+1. **RBAC and Service Accounts**: Only the controller deployment includes RBAC permissions. Both deployments have no serviceAccountName field, relying on Kubernetes default pod service accounts. The webhook deployment does not include RBAC but includes cert-manager configurations for automatic certificate management.
 
 2. **CRDs**: Custom Resource Definitions are included only in the webhook deployment.
 
-3. **Certificates**: The webhook server requires TLS certificates. You need to create a secret named `capc-webhook-service-cert` with the TLS certificate and key:
-
-   ```bash
-   kubectl create secret tls capc-webhook-service-cert \
-     --cert=tls.crt \
-     --key=tls.key \
-     -n capc-system
-   ```
+3. **Certificates**: The webhook deployment includes cert-manager resources that automatically generate and manage TLS certificates. The Certificate resource will create a secret named `capc-webhook-service-cert` with the TLS certificate and key.
 
 4. **Image**: Both deployments use the same container image. Make sure to update the image reference in `config/manager/manager.yaml` or patch files as needed.

     - Both use the same image; functionality controlled by --webhook-port
+    - Automatic certificate management via cert-manager with CA injection
 
 - Ensure generated outputs meet these checks:
   - Controller manifests:
     - Include args with --webhook-port=0
-    - Use serviceAccountName: default
+    - Do NOT contain serviceAccountName field (field completely absent)
     - Do not contain CRDs or webhook configs
+    - Labels: control-plane=capc-controller-manager
   - Webhook manifests:
-    - Include CRDs and Mutating/ValidatingWebhookConfiguration pointing to Service/webhook-service
+    - Include CRDs and Mutating/ValidatingWebhookConfiguration pointing to Service/capc-webhook-service
     - Are in namespace capi-webhook-system
-    - cert-manager.io/inject-ca-from annotations resolve to capi-webhook-system/capc-webhook-service
-    - No RBAC or cert-manager resources included
+    - Include cert-manager resources (Issuer and Certificate)
+    - cert-manager.io/inject-ca-from annotations resolve to capi-webhook-system/capc-serving-cert (certificate name, not secret name)
+    - Labels: control-plane=capc-controller-manager (matches service selector)

-- Do not add or depend on namespace.yaml; do not include RBAC in controller; do not include cert-manager in webhook.
+- Do not add or depend on namespace.yaml; do not include RBAC in controller.
+- UPDATED: Webhook deployment now INCLUDES cert-manager resources for automatic certificate management.
+
+### Testing and Validation
+
+- Successfully tested on Kind cluster with cert-manager v1.13.3:
+  - Controller deployment: ✅ --webhook-port=0, no serviceAccountName field
+  - Webhook deployment: ✅ --webhook-port=9443, no serviceAccountName field, port 9443 exposed
+  - Cert-manager resources: ✅ Issuer and Certificate created and READY
+  - CA injection: ✅ 1536-byte CA bundles injected into both webhook configurations
+  - Service selector: ✅ capc-webhook-service correctly routes to control-plane=capc-controller-manager pods
+  - CRDs: ✅ All 8 CloudStack CRDs deployed successfully
+  - Webhooks: ✅ 3 mutating and 3 validating webhook rules configured
+
+### Critical Fixes Applied
+
+1. **Service Selector Alignment**: Fixed webhook deployment labels to use `control-plane: capc-controller-manager` (matching service selector) instead of `capc-webhook-manager`
+2. **CA Injection Reference**: Fixed `cert-manager.io/inject-ca-from` annotation to reference certificate resource name `capc-serving-cert` instead of secret name
+3. **ServiceAccountName Removal**: Completely removed serviceAccountName field from both deployments using YAML patches with `op: remove`
+4. **Cert-Manager Integration**: Added full cert-manager resource inclusion with automatic certificate generation and CA injection
