Question on Do's/Don'ts for Certain Software in Containers/k8s

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/devops

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • vault-helm

    Helm chart to install Vault and other associated components.

  • Yup. There's an official Hashi chart.

  • vault-operator

    Discontinued Run and manage Vault on Kubernetes simply and securely

  • Vault has some specific security requirements which are easier to implement on a VM than on Kubernetes (though there's some debate as to whether these are needed). Being a security-focused product, Vault is also often run on dedicated nodes - this somewhat defeats one of the purposes of Kubernetes in general (node binpacking). As far as downsides, that's really dependent on the Vault configuration - but those downsides don't really change whether you're on dedicated VMs or on k8s.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
