k8s-secret-injector is a tool that can connect with multiple secret managers to fetch the secrets and then inject them into the environment variable in a secure way. The motive is to create this injector is to use it with another project of our k8s-vault-webhook but this can be used independently outside Kubernetes as well.
The secret managers which are currently supported:-
There are some secret managers which are planned to be implemented in future.
- k8s-secret-injector can connect with Vault using Kubernetes as backend
- Authenticate with Kubernetes using Serviceaccount mechanism
- Support AWS Secret Manager as secret manager backend
- Inject secrets directly to the process, i.e. after the injection you cannot read secrets from the environment variable
- Inject secret to pod's application process from AWS Secret Manager
We can simply clone the repo and compile the binary according to the OS architecture and environment.
make build-code
In any case, if you don't want to compile the code. The binary can be installed by downloading from Releases as well.
