Secrets Management

We've all got secrets, but nobody seems to know where to put them. This long standing issue has plagued system design for ages and still has many broken implementations. While many consider this an application concern, the foundations rest in the design of the system. Join Aaron for an in-depth workshop that will cover the following secret management solutions:

  • Locally encrypted secrets with Ansible Vault
  • HSM backed local secrets with SOPS
  • AWS Secrets Manager
  • Hashicorp Vault

Additionally, this workshop will demonstrate tools for discovering sensitive information checked in to your project.

This is a two session workshop and is best received by attending both sessions.
