In this post, we introduce the AWS provider for the Secrets Store CSI Driver, a new AWS Secrets Manager add-on for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) that you can use to fetch secrets from Secrets Manager and parameters from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and mount them as files in Kubernetes pods. The add-on is straightforward to install and configure, works on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and hybrid nodes, and includes the latest security updates and bugfixes. It provides a secure and reliable way to retrieve your secrets in Kubernetes workloads.
The AWS provider for the Secrets Store CSI Driver is an open source Kubernetes DaemonSet.
Amazon EKS add-ons provide installation and management of a curated set of add-ons for EKS clusters. You can use these add-ons to help ensure that your EKS clusters are secure and stable and reduce the number of steps required to install, configure, and update add-ons.
