GitOps and Kubernetes – Secure Handling of Secrets
Hashicorp Vault k8s is an operator that modifies pods via a mutating webhook to connect between vault and pod via sidecars (additional containers) to provide secrets. This has the major advantage that no secret objects are created in Kubernetes here. The disadvantage is that this way only works with Vault.

Solving ArgoCD Secret Management with the argocd-vault-plugin
They’ve made it so you can define the order that the vault sidecar starts in, so that the proxy will be running first. https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-k8s/issues/53

GitOps and Kubernetes – Secure Handling of Secrets
An option that easily works with GitOps is the Operator Sealed Secrets from Bitnami. Secrets encrypted with it can only be decrypted by operators running inside the cluster, not even by the original author. For encryption, there is a CLI (and a third-party web UI) that requires a connection to the cluster. The disadvantage of this is that the key material is stored in the cluster, the secrets are bound to the cluster and one has to take care of backups and operation.
