The CI/CD has a service account with permissions to all envs, and during deployment it renders the config files and inserts the "real" values by pulling it from Vault/KMS. Something very simple is Spruce, which is actually a powerful general templating tool but I've seen it only used for vault secrets so far.

I use spruce for many thing but it's ability to merge y'all files smartly is very useful. Think global yaml merged with one of [prod, staging, dev].yaml, merged with override.yaml creating a deployment yaml. https://github.com/geofffranks/spruce
