Install External Secrets Operator
The External Secrets Operator (ESO) synchronizes secrets from external stores into Kubernetes, so credentials never live in git. KubeRocketCI uses ESO to pull platform secrets from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store or from Kubernetes secrets in a management cluster. This page covers the installation; for connecting a store, see the External Secrets Operator integration guide.
