CNCF Publishes Latest Technology Radar Focused on Secrets Management - InfoQ

CNCF published the fourth edition of the end-user Technology Radar. This time the theme was secrets management: the set of tools and technologies to manage digital authentication. The purpose of this edition is to share what tools are used by end-users, what tools they recommend, and to identify any patterns that have emerged.

The Technology Radar team reported four themes that came out of this survey. The first theme is the widespread adoption of HashiCorp Vault. While Vault has sometimes been considered in the industry as a complex tool with a high operational burden, the Technology Radar team believes it removes the complexity of creating an in-house tool and also that it appears to be a convenient solution for multi-cloud environments.
