Turn this into a work product, for example a blog post.

If we want this to be a document we can move to the docs repo, etc.

Discussed in https://github.com/open-gitops/project/discussions/96

^{Originally posted by chris-short March 16, 2022} Handling secrets with GitOps is becoming a frequent question and starting to become a problem. Some secrets solutions like sops and external-secrets are in various states of decay.

Luckily, this is in alpha and I feel like this will be our future answer: https://secrets-store-csi-driver.sigs.k8s.io/getting-started/installation.html

Despite being alpha, the Big 3 cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP and bonus, Hashicorp Vault) all have providers.

I could definitely see that discussion turning into a blog post and that blog post then getting whittled down to a concise document. If anyone wants to collab on such a thing for the OpenGitOps Blog, please let me know.

Would also love to help on this since k8s secrets management is something new for me.

Go for it @mateuszpruchniak first! :)

Excited to see what you will write!

What is the status of this?

[chris-short]

Just sent you the doc. Currently stalled but maybe worth bringing up at next meeting?
