Securing these assets and ensuring there integrity is vital. How do admins safely and reliably manage these secrets? Which options are currently available in and outside of Kubernetes? How do you avoid storing the same secret multiple time across different environments? Join our talk to learn which methods are available to safely secure your Kubernetes secrets in a production environment. Simon will demonstrate various ways of storing and accessing secrets in and outside of a Kubernetes cluster. We will also cover how to sync external secrets to multiple Kubernetes clusters.
