What Is Secrets Management on Kubernetes?
Why Kubernetes Secrets alone aren't enough, and how a secrets manager like OpenBao plus the External Secrets Operator keep credentials out of your manifests.
2
Installing OpenBao on Kubernetes
Install OpenBao on a Kubernetes cluster with Helm in dev mode, verify it is running, and meet the bao CLI — a hands-on, open-source walkthrough.
3
Storing and Reading Secrets with OpenBao
Use OpenBao's key/value engine to store and read secrets with the bao CLI, and see how versioning keeps a history of every change.
4
Syncing Secrets into Kubernetes with the External Secrets Operator
Install the External Secrets Operator and sync a secret from OpenBao into a native Kubernetes Secret your workloads can consume — without putting the value in a manifest.
