This is a Kubernetes Operator to provision and inject secrets for Kubernetes pods. Compared to Kubernetes' native secret mounts, this permits secrets to be selected dynamically based on properties of the `Pod`.



It is part of the Stackable Data Platform, a curated selection of the best open source data apps like Apache Kafka, Apache Druid, Trino or Apache Spark, [all](#other-operators) working together seamlessly. Based on Kubernetes, it runs everywhere – [on prem or in the cloud](#supported-platforms).



## Installation



You can install the operator using [stackablectl or helm](https://docs.stackable.tech/home/stable/secret-operator/getting_started/installation).



Read on to get started with it, or see it in action in one of our [demos](https://stackable.tech/en/demos/).



## Building



As a user you do not need to build the operator yourself, but for development purposes you can read the [build instructions](./BUILDING.md) to learn how to build the operator.



## Getting Started



You can follow this [tutorial](https://docs.stackable.tech/home/stable/secret-operator/getting_started/first_steps) .



## Documentation



The stable documentation for this operator can be found in our [Stackable Data Platform documentation](https://docs.stackable.tech/home/stable/secret-operator).

If you are interested in the most recent state of this repository, check out the [nightly docs](https://docs.stackable.tech/home/nightly/secret-operator) instead.



The documentation for all Stackable products can be found at [docs.stackable.tech](https://docs.stackable.tech).



If you have a question about the Stackable Data Platform, contact us via our [homepage](https://stackable.tech/) or ask a public question in our [Discussions forum](https://github.com/orgs/stackabletech/discussions).



## What does it do?



The Secret Operator provisions and mounts secrets, but unlike the default Kubernetes Secret mechanism, Secrets can be created and mounted dynamically based on Pod properties. The Operator supports:



* Generating TLS certificates on demand and mounting them



## How it works



The Secret Operator is deployed as a DaemonSet and provides a CSI to mount files directly into Pods.

## About The Stackable Data Platform



This operator is written and maintained by [Stackable](https://stackable.tech) and it is part of a larger data platform.



![Stackable Data Platform Overview](./.readme/static/borrowed/stackable_overview.png)



Stackable makes it easy to operate data applications in any Kubernetes cluster.



The data platform offers many operators, new ones being added continuously. All our operators are designed and built to be easily interconnected and to be consistent to work with.



The [Stackable GmbH](https://stackable.tech/) is the company behind the Stackable Data Platform. Offering professional services, paid support plans and custom development.



We love open-source!
