Talk 2: How to Manage Secrets in Kubernetes with Hashicorp Vault & External Secrets Operator
By: Rajith Attapattu and Andre Adam
When adopting Kubernetes, managing Secrets is an important consideration that every organization grapples with. When seeking for solutions, most organizations prefer to manage secrets in a GitOps friendly manner. HashiCorp Vault provides a comprehensive secret management solution, while External Secrets Operator provides an elegant abstraction to several Secret Stores including HashiCorp Vault. External Secrets allows you to define your secrets declaratively via CustomResourceDefinitions (CRDs) while it syncs with the defined secret store to fetch your secrets securely.
In this webinar you will learn:

• Different options available when handling secrets in kubernetes
• Overview of External Secrets Operator and HashiCorp Vault together as a solution
• How we implemented the above solution at Randoli and the lessons we learned in doing so
