OpenShift, Kubernetes
Overview
Integration with Kubernetes or OpenShift enables you to securely pass secrets stored in Conjur to applications running in RedHat OpenShift, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), or other Kubernetes implementations. By configuring your environment to integrate with Conjur, secrets are never exposed to third parties.
The Conjur integration provides the following features for your Kubernetes or OpenShift environment:
-
End-to-end encryption of secrets through mutual TLS.
-
Robust authentication and authorization incorporating Conjur policy, signed certificates, and an internal Kubernetes authenticator.
-
Conjur policy provides separation of duties, letting your security teams control container access while development teams define application requirements.
-
Easy deployment of applications across environments and pods.
-
Secret rotation and centralized auditing.
