kustomize-sops

This is a very simple wrapper to allow use of sops encoded secrets within kustomize.

It assumes that there exists a single secrets.enc.yaml file, and in it there is a 1-deep YAML representation of SECRET: VALUE.

Assume you had a raw secrets as secrets.yaml:

CAT: ferocious
DOG: tame

You would then encrypt it something like:

sops --encrypt --gcp-kms projects/MYPROJECT/locations/global/keyRings/sops/cryptoKeys/sops-key secrets.yaml > secrets.enc.yaml

You would use a kustomization.yaml file as:

secretGenerator:
- name: mysecrets
  kvSources:
  - name: kustomize-sops
    pluginType: go
    args:
    - CAT
    - DOG

And then running kustomize --enable_alpha_goplugins_accept_panic_risk build . would yield:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  CAT: ZmVyb2Npb3Vz
  DOG: dGFtZQ==
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mysecrets-4g7fk45c8c
type: Opaque
