Integrating Kubernetes with external secret managers provides an additional layer of security and management flexibility. External secret managers like HashiCorp Vault and AWS Secrets Manager offer advanced features such as secret versioning, rotation, and access logging. Integrating these managers involves configuring Kubernetes to communicate with the external service, often using a Kubernetes operator or custom resource definitions (CRDs). For instance, using the Vault Kubernetes Auth method, you can authenticate Pods to access secrets stored in Vault. Best practices include regularly rotating secrets, using least privilege access policies, and monitoring access logs for suspicious activity. An example workflow might involve deploying a Vault agent alongside your application to fetch secrets securely. By leveraging external managers, you enhance your security posture and streamline secret management.
