I prefer Sealed Secrets over sops since it has the namespace scoping element and can also be stored in repo (once encrypted). I also generally prefer having a controller deployed rather than forcing devs to learn kustomize (which we don't widely use yet) so I guess less of a support burden for me.

I understand your point. Anyway, if your devs are using Helm they can still use Sops with the helm-secrets plugin. Just create a separated values file (can be named as secrets.yaml) contaning all sensitive values and encrypt it with Sops.

Thanks for sharing! I definitely hadn't seen that plugin. We definitely use helm, even though I hate it lol. I will take a look when I get around to looking at external secrets since I still haven't had a chance to (you know how it goes... priorities made up by some random PM or whatever)

If you still want more you can use Helmfile. Take care of your PMs 😁
