The External Secrets Kubernetes operator reads information from a third party service
2020-11-23 14:21:01 +00:00
like [AWS Secrets Manager ](https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/ ) and automatically injects the values as [Kubernetes Secrets ](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/ ).
