# Introduction
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**External Secrets Operator** is a Kubernetes operator that integrates external
|
|
secret management systems like [AWS Secrets
|
|
Manager](https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/), [HashiCorp
|
|
Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/), [Google Secrets
|
|
Manager](https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager), [Azure Key
|
|
Vault](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/key-vault/), [IBM Cloud Secrets Manager](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/secrets-manager), [CyberArk Conjur](https://www.conjur.org), [Pulumi ESC](https://www.pulumi.com/product/esc/) and many more. The
|
|
operator reads information from external APIs and automatically injects the
|
|
values into a [Kubernetes
|
|
Secret](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/).
|
|
|
|
### What is the goal of External Secrets Operator?
|
|
|
|
The goal of External Secrets Operator is to synchronize secrets from external
|
|
APIs into Kubernetes. ESO is a collection of custom API resources -
|
|
`ExternalSecret`, `SecretStore` and `ClusterSecretStore` that provide a
|
|
user-friendly abstraction for the external API that stores and manages the
|
|
lifecycle of the secrets for you.
