A k8s vault webhook is a Kubernetes webhook that can inject secrets into Kubernetes resources by connecting to multiple secret managers

k8s-vault-webhook is a Kubernetes admission webhook which listen for the events related to Kubernetes resources for injecting secret directly from secret manager to pod, secret, and configmap. The motive of creating this project is to provide a dynamic secret injection to containers/pods running inside Kubernetes from different secret managers for enhanced security.

Documentation is available here:- https://ot-container-kit.github.io/k8s-vault-webhook/

The secret managers which are currently supported:-

• Hashicorp Vault
• AWS Secret Manager
• Azure Key Vault

There are some secret managers which are planned to be implemented in future.

• GCP Secret Manager

Supported Features

• Authentication to Hashicorp vault using Kubernetes service-account
• RBAC implementation of vault using different policies of vault and association of policy with service-account
• Inject secret directly to pods/containers running inside Kubernetes
• Inject secret directly to pods/containers from AWS Secret Manager
• Authentication with AWS Secret Manager with access key and iam role
• Fetch secrets from Azure Key Vault and inject them in pods/containers
• Pod AD identity and Service principal based authentication in Azure
• Authentication with AWS Secret Manager with access key and iam role
• Support regex to inject all secrets from a certain path of Vault
• Inject secrets directly to the process of container, i.e. after the injection you cannot read secrets from the environment variable
