Use Case: Multiple Secrets

This example demonstrates how to use VMware Secrets Manager to register more than one secret to your workload.

This demo is a slight variation of the Registering Secrets Using Init Container example.

A Video Is Worth a Lot of Words

[You can watch these tutorial][videos] as to learn how to use VMware Secrets Manager hands-on.

Note that the video is about the older version of VMware Secrets Manager, called 'Aegis', but the concepts are the same. Also note that in the meantime we have added a few more features to VMware Secrets Manager, so you will find differences between the video and the current version of VMware Secrets Manager.

In the videos, we use all the scripts and resource manifests you see in this folder to demonstrate various VMware Secrets Manager use cases.

Deployment Options

To follow this use case, you can either locally build and deploy the container images; or you can pull and use pre-deployed images from Docker Hub.

The following sections describe both of these approaches respectively.

Local Deployment

# Switch to the project folder:
cd $WORKSPACE/vmware-secrets-manager
# Build everything locally:
make build-local
# Deploy the use case:
make example-multiple-secrets-deploy-local
# Switch to this use case's folder:
cd $WORKSPACE/vmware-secrets-manager/examples/multiple-secrets
# Register a secret:
./register.sh
# List the secrets.
./secrets.sh

Using Pre-Deployed Images

If you don't want to build the container images locally, you can use pre-deployed container images.

# Switch to the project folder:
cd $WORKSPACE/vmware-secrets-manager
# Deploy the use case from the pre-built image.
make example-multiple-secrets-deploy
# Switch to this use case's folder:
cd $WORKSPACE/vmware-secrets-manager/examples/multiple_secrets
# Register a secret:
./register.sh
# List the secrets.
./secrets.sh
