The Best of Cloud Native Secrets Management

Let's talk about Kubernetes secrets management for a second. There's a lot of cloud native tech in the secrets space. On the kubefirst open source platform we've found an incredibly powerful secrets management combination to be:
\

  1. πŸ”’ Hashicorp Vault: a powerful enterprise secrets manager self hosted in your cluster. It does much more than simple secrets and their self hosted free tier is an exceptionally stable and capable offering.\
  2. πŸ”€ External Secrets Operator: ESO will turn Vault secrets (or cloud secrets or any other secrets) into kubernetes secrets. It's an important platform abstraction so that your apps aren't bound to your secret storage technology.\
  3. ♻️ Reloader: A simple utility that automatically orchestrates rolling restarts of your apps when their secret or config values are changed. It's configured with simple annotations and easy to use.\
  4. πŸ™ Argo CD: Keep your external secret objects in git and hand the controls to the masterful Argo CD gitops engine drive what secrets you need pulled.\
  5. πŸš€ Kubefirst: We give you all of ☝ preconfigured and working together and then give you theΒ gitopsΒ git repository that's powering it all.
