Secrets\nManager](https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/), [HashiCorp\nVault](https://www.vaultproject.io/), [Google Secrets\nManager](https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager), [Azure Key\nVault](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/key-vault/), [IBM Cloud Secrets Manager](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/secrets-manager), [Akeyless](https://akeyless.io), [CyberArk Secrets Manager](https://www.cyberark.com/products/secrets-management/), [Pulumi ESC](https://www.pulumi.com/product/esc/) and many more. The\noperator reads information from external APIs and automatically injects the\nvalues into a [Kubernetes\nSecret](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/).\n\nMultiple people and organizations are joining efforts to create a single External Secrets solution based on existing projects. If you are curious about the origins of this project, check out [this issue](https://github.com/external-secrets/kubernetes-external-secrets/issues/47) and [this PR](https://github.com/external-secrets/kubernetes-external-secrets/pull/477).\n\n## Documentation\n\nExternal Secrets Operator guides and reference documentation is available at [external-secrets.io](https://external-secrets.io).
