External Secrets Operator

Sync secrets from external stores into Kubernetes

About External Secrets Operator

A Kubernetes operator that integrates external secret management systems such as cloud providers and Vault, syncing secrets into Kubernetes so applications consume them as native resources. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
