Keep your secrets. Using the Humanitec Operator

What's this blog post about?

The Humanitec Platform Orchestrator enables enterprises to ship software faster and more securely by allowing developers to self-serve infrastructure without accessing secrets. It uses a graph-based backend for defining rules on how developers can consume resources, with Placeholders used in resource definitions instead of hard-coded secrets. The Humanitec Operator, which sits inside K8s clusters, complements the Platform Orchestrator and securely completes rendering procedures without accessing external secret stores. This ensures that secrets are never shared outside their designated locations, maintaining control over them even if other systems become compromised.
