secretOperator

This is a suite of utilities for making secret management easier in a kubernetes cluster. It is an "operator" that you can run in your cluster, and a set of custom resource definitions to declaratively manage secrets of various types.

VaultSecret

Many organizations use vault as their source of truth for secrets, but also need to access those secrets from within a kubernetes cluster. Sadly, there are no native integrations between vault and kubernetes.

The VaultSecret CRD allows you to declare a secret that you need to be present in the cluster, as well as how to get it from vault:

apiVersion: secrets.k8s.captncraig.io/v1alpha1
kind: VaultSecret
metadata:
  namespace: myapp
  name: database-credentials
spec:
  path: "secret/myapp/db-prod"
  mode: v1
  auth:
    role: myapp
    serviceAccount: myapp

This Operator would see the above VaultSecret, fetch the data from vault, and create a matching Secret object in your cluster that your pods and applications can use.
