Managing Kubernetes Secrets: A Guide to HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and Azure Key Vault Integration — Part-2

Building on the foundational concepts from Part 1, this section provides a hands-on guide to injecting secrets from major secret providers into a Kubernetes environment. Each use case begins with a setup phase, where I create the necessary resources using Terraform for AWS Secrets Manager and Azure Key Vault, followed by the injection phase using ESO resources.

To streamline the setup, I’ve prepared a GitHub repository (link: insert_repo_link_here) containing all necessary Kubernetes manifests and Terraform scripts. I recommend reviewing the repository’s prerequisites to ensure all dependencies and configurations are in place before starting.

I first demonstrate how to configure HashiCorp Vault and inject its secrets into Kubernetes. Next, I use Terraform to create AWS Secrets Manager secrets and integrate them into the Kubernetes environment via ESO. Finally, I apply similar steps for Azure Key Vault. By the end of this part, readers will be equipped with practical skills to set up, manage, and inject secrets from each provider in Kubernetes.
