    If you are using an external KMS in any case, then there are other options, such as the kubernetes-external-secrets operator that was originally started by GoDaddy and the externalsecret-operator from Container Solutions. If you use HashiCorp Vault, you also have the option of using the Vault Secrets operator. This works similarly to the Sealed Secrets Operator, but instead of managing its own key material, it retrieves the secrets from Vault. The CNCF Technology Radar from January 2021 provides an overview of the types of tools that are available for secrets management.

  • Terraform Cloud Operator in Production - Secrets
    1 project | /r/Terraform | 27 Nov 2022
    Is anyone here using the Terraform Cloud Operator in production? If so, how are you managing workspace secrets?
  • Terraform Cloud Operator giving not found error
    1 project | /r/Terraform | 11 May 2022
    So I’m using the terraform cloud operator for kubernetes (https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s) to create workspaces from an EKS cluster. I’ve had to use a forked helm chart. However, the issue I have right now is that when I create a workspace via the CRD, it creates on Terraform cloud and then is just stuck. Doesn’t try to apply the module, plan, apply etc. The logs of the operator pod talks about not being able to find the workspace.
  • GitOps using the Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes
    1 project | /r/GitOps | 1 Dec 2021
    Did anyone try https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s for applying GitOps principles to IaC?

    In addition to creating Kubernetes clusters, there is also an increasing number of opportunities to use various Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, such as Terraform, with GitOps. As was already mentioned, PipeCD offers support for Terraform. Terraform's vendor, HashiCorp, now also offers an official Terraform Kubernetes operator. However, it needs access to HashiCorp's Terraform Cloud. Alternatively, there are also third-party operators that can function without Terraform Cloud, such as the one developed by Rancher. However, it is still in alpha stage.

    Pretty neat. I really want to test it out, and see how it compares to https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s and https://github.com/rancher/terraform-controller
