Secret management is crucial in application deployment, and Codefresh has enhanced its capabilities by introducing native integration with Hashicorp Vault, complementing its existing support for Kubernetes and custom secrets. This new integration allows for a more secure and intuitive process, offering various authentication methods beyond the traditional token and app/role options. Users can easily configure their Vault instance, whether on the public cloud or behind a firewall, and access secrets within pipelines or the Codefresh UI using a unified approach. This advancement enables mixing and matching secrets from multiple sources seamlessly, with comprehensive details available in the Vault documentation.
