On AWS: Why use EKS instead of ECS?
Something I personally like about EKS is the Amazon Controllers for Kubernetes nowadays they would more preoperly be called 'operators' like the (non AWS and non AWS specific) External Secrets Operator. Essentially you delegate your cluster to create external resources elsewhere on your behalf based on annotations in your deployment.

Self-hosted Secrets Manager (or something alike)
Vault is extremely complex and heavy for my tastes, and Bitwarden Secrets Manager implementation AFAIU is not open source and not suitable for self-hosting. I like that both can be easily integrated with External Secrets for kubernetes secrets management.

GitOps and Kubernetes – Secure Handling of Secrets
External Secrets is an operator that integrates external KMS such as Hashicorp Vault or those of the major cloud providers. It reads secrets from the external APIs and injects them into Kubernetes secrets. The operator is a new implementation after the merge of similar projects from GoDaddy and ContainerSolutions.

Do you have a TODO checklist when creating clusters from scratch?
I do not recommend vault if you are not experienced. It is a heavy infra to manage. I suggest looking into https://github.com/external-secrets/kubernetes-external-secrets and selecting the tool offered by your cloud providers.

Secrets usage
This is where things like the vault agent sidecar or projects like external secrets come in and allow you to inject / sync your secrets backend and your Kubernetes workloads :)

We don't keep anything sensitive inside of Helm charts. We use AWS Secrets Manager and external-secrets
What are some alternatives?
When comparing external-secrets and kubernetes-external-secrets you can also consider the following projects:
sealed-secrets - A Kubernetes controller and tool for one-way encrypted Secrets
argocd-vault-plugin - An Argo CD plugin to retrieve secrets from Secret Management tools and inject them into Kubernetes secrets
secrets-store-csi-driver - Secrets Store CSI driver for Kubernetes secrets - Integrates secrets stores with Kubernetes via a CSI volume.
vault-secrets-operator - The Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) allows Pods to consume Vault secrets natively from Kubernetes Secrets.
vault-secrets-operator - Create Kubernetes secrets from Vault for a secure GitOps based workflow.
Reloader - A Kubernetes controller to watch changes in ConfigMap and Secrets and do rolling upgrades on Pods with their associated Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet and DeploymentConfig – [✩Star] if you're using it!
Bitwarden - The core infrastructure backend (API, database, Docker, etc).
kube-score - Kubernetes object analysis with recommendations for improved reliability and security. kube-score actively prevents downtime and bugs in your Kubernetes YAML and Charts. Static code analysis for Kubernetes.
trousseau - Store and access your secrets the Kubernetes native way with any external KMS.
