Automation assistants: GitOps tools in comparison
A newer competitor is Fleet, which is developed by Rancher. Its special ability is that it is able to manage not just one, but a fleet of clusters. PipeCD is similarly young and has an even broader focus. Like Fleet, it promises the ability to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters, and it also offers a UI. In addition, it can handle Terraform and some services from the major cloud providers.

Automation assistants: GitOps tools in comparison
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.
