Securing Kubernetes Secrets and Managing Certificates: Best Practices for a Robust Infrastructure

Did you know Kubernetes dominant orchestration platforms. For developers it is highly important to manage sensitive information securely. In this tutorial we are discussing the the best practices for securing Kubernetes secrets and managing certificates.

Kubernetes Secrets

Are you new to Kubernetes, don't worry its the easy topic. Technically, Kubernetes Secrets are objects to store sensitive information such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys. In other words Secrets provide a mechanism to handle confidential information securely. In Kubernetes secret values are encoded in base64 and stored unencrypted. If these Secrets are not managed correctly poses significant risks.

What is Secrets Management
