bank-vaults VS Vault

there's https://github.com/banzaicloud/bank-vaults wich is a wrapper for hashivault, so not exactly what you're looking for but worth looking into.

https://github.com/banzaicloud/bank-vaults. Mind you after Cisco bought Banzai work on this project seems to have stopped. It works very well for us though.

We are using Banzai Bank Vaults Webhook and we’re very happy with it.

If you ever want to see vault at that kind of level check out bank-vaults. Overkill for many, but it sounds like a decent fit for what you've already got in place and might reduce the boilerplate.

Use vault-env (we use https://github.com/banzaicloud/bank-vaults) to inject the secret as an ENV var to the pod at runtime, based on Vault's Kubernetes auth

We use bank vault to inject secrets as environment variables. This does not require changes to the app. A sidecar is automatically added to the pod to retrieve the secrets and inject them in the app runtime. Here’s the link https://github.com/banzaicloud/bank-vaults

I can follow up with examples if you'd like. You might like BanzaiCloud's Bank Vaults. We personally only use the Configurer component which just provides useful mechanisms to dynamically, or once off, configure Vault via data structures we supplied via ConfigMap.

Encrypted secrets can't be more than a temporary solution. That's why I'm not a fan of SOPS/Sealed Secrets/etc. I think the future for both security and usability is dynamic injection. Vault is the dopeness but I'm not a fan of the upstream Vault Injector -- shared volumes are a step backwards. It's all about the BanzaiCloud Vault Webhook -- secrets **only ever available to the running process**, rotation means: update the value in vault and bounce the pod, done. This is the way.

HashiCorp Vault

For a more comprehensive and robust secret management solution, get your hands on tools like GCP Secret Manager, or HashiCorp Vault. They're like the security guards of your secrets, providing a safe house, access control, and keeping logs of who’s been snooping around.

HashiCorp Vault is a popular tool for managing secrets in Kubernetes clusters. It offers advanced features such as secure storage, encryption, dynamic secrets generation, and integration with Kubernetes through its Kubernetes authentication method.

So you've just bought a new platform tool? Maybe it's Hashicorp Vault? Snyk? Backstage? You’re excited about all of the developer experience, security and other benefits you're about to unleash on your company—right? But wait…

You seem to be looking for a cross-platform solution, and https://www.vaultproject.io/ provides just that. If everything was in AWS, AWS Secret Manager might be great, but imo Vault provides much better platform-agnostic capabilities.

> Refer to Build Certificate Authority (CA) in Vault with an offline Root for an example of using a root CA external to Vault.

Secret Management: Securely stores sensitive configuration data and secrets using tools like AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault. Avoid hardcoding secrets in code or configuration files.

The author of this tool basically took the Shamir code from Hashicorp Vault, which is pretty mainstream. If you're looking for a solid implementation, I would start there[0]. I wouldn't use the Shamir code from this repo, as it's an old version of the vault code using field arithmetic that doesn't run in constant time.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by this? cross-cluster? they already have HA: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/v1.14.1/website/cont...

while digging up that link, I also saw one named replication: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/blob/v1.14.1/website/cont...
