Using secrets in Kubernetes is the standard approach for sharing private information between containers. It does have some drawbacks with respect to security, auditing and rotation. There are a number of ways to improve on standard secrets in Kubernetes by using external tools. One of these tools that integrates well with Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) on AWS is the AWS Secrets Manager. EKS offers an addon where you manage your secrets in Secrets Manager but can access them in your containers without have to write any extra code for the interaction. Below Rohit Nagose shows an example of using this in an application. https://lnkd.in/ewMyEgvd

1moAWS Secrets Manager is a good way to store our sensitive data to achieve extra layer of security . I have utilized Hashicorp Vault with Kubernetes to achieve the same use case.
