Technical requirements

To link concepts with hands-on examples, we are leveraging a series of tools and platforms commonly used to interact with external Secrets management and Kubernetes:

• minikube: It runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a virtual machine (VM) on your computer. Get it set up using the guide at https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/.
• Helm: This is a package manager for Kubernetes that will simplify deployments. Check out the Helm installation guide for setup instructions at https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/.
• kubectl: This is the Kubernetes command-line tool. Instructions for its installation are available at https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/.
• External Secrets management tool: While various tools can be utilized for the purpose of our demonstrations, it’s recommended to have Hashicorp Vault. The official guide for its installation is found at https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/install.
