ack-secret-manager
ACK Secret Manager is a Kubernetes integration that securely imports credentials and sensitive data from Alibaba Cloud external secret management systems into Kubernetes clusters as native Secret objects. It supports Alibaba Cloud KMS Secrets Manager and OOS Encryption Parameter as data sources, automatically synchronizing encrypted data and allowing applications to consume secrets through standard Pod mounting configurations. Key features include flexible authentication options such as RRSA-based pod-level authorization that binds KMS secret retrieval permissions to specific ServiceAccounts without requiring AccessKeys, fine-grained multi-tenant ServiceAccount-level control through SecretStore configurations, and traditional Worker RAM role-based authentication. The tool follows the principle of least privilege by recommending minimal KMS permissions and helps mitigate sensitive data exposure risks during development and deployment, supporting compliance with security best practices throughout the software s
