Most Kubernetes resources and workloads reference the Kubernetes Secret object for credentials, API tokens, certificates, and other confidential data. Kubernetes stores secrets unencrypted by default and requires role-based access control (RBAC) rules to ensure least-privilege access. However, it does not offer a straightforward method for tracking the lifecycle and distribution of the secret. Rather than store secrets in Kubernetes, you can use a centralized secrets management solution like HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP) Vault Secrets to audit and manage secrets. This post demonstrates how to ..read more

Recent enhancements in HashiCorp Terraform Cloud help simplify the user experience when working with projects. A new dedicated browsing experience provides better visibility and manageability for projects, and the ability to restrict version control system (VCS) connections to projects enables more fine-grained control to reduce risk. Project overview page As the popularity of projects has grown, customers have found that long project names don’t all fit in the sidebar of the workspaces view. Customers need a better browsing experience for projects that is not restricted to a view designed for ..read more

The HashiCorp Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes continuously reconciles infrastructure resources using Terraform Cloud. When you use the operator to create a Terraform Cloud workspace, you must reference a Terraform Cloud API token stored in a Kubernetes secret. One way to better secure these secrets instead of hard-coding them involves storing and managing secrets in a centralized secrets manager, like HashiCorp Vault. In this approach, you need to synchronize secrets revoked and created by Vault into Kubernetes. An operator like the Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) can retrieve secrets fro ..read more
