How To Make Kubernetes Secrets Truly Secret
Kubernetes Secrets are not as secure as their name implies and pose challenges in managing secret data such as passwords, keys, credentials, and authentication tokens. To address these issues, HashiCorp Vault can be used to decouple secret management from a Kubernetes cluster. Vault is an identity-based, external secrets operator that authorizes all access before sharing sensitive data. In the context of Redis Enterprise on Kubernetes, users need authentication and end-to-end security is usually enabled in support of those capabilities. The walkthrough provided demonstrates how to create a secure deployment of Redis Enterprise on Kubernetes using Vault's power.
