Amazon EKS add-ons now supports the AWS Secrets Store CSI Driver provider
Today, AWS announces the general availability of the AWS Secrets Store CSI Driver provider EKS add-on. This new integration allows customers to retrieve secrets from AWS Secrets Manager and parameters from AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store and mount them as files on their Kubernetes clusters running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). The add-on installs and manages the AWS provider for the Secrets Store CSI Driver.
Now, with the new Amazon EKS add-on, customers can quickly and easily set up new and existing clusters using automation to leverage AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, enhancing security and simplifying secrets management. Amazon EKS add-ons are curated extensions that automate the installation, configuration, and lifecycle management of operational software for Kubernetes clusters, simplifying the process of maintaining cluster functionality and security.
Customers rely on AWS Secrets Manager to securely store and manage secrets such as database credentials and API keys throughout their lifecycle.
