How should secrets be handled for Flagger?

Secrets management is a critical aspect of deploying applications securely with Flagger. Flagger is a progressive delivery tool that automates the promotion and rollback of canary deployments. Managing sensitive data such as API keys, database credentials, and other configuration parameters securely is essential to prevent unauthorized access.

To handle secrets in Flagger, you can utilize Kubernetes Secrets, HashiCorp Vault, or other secrets management tools. This allows secure storage and retrieval of sensitive information during the deployment process.

apiVersion: v1 kind: Secret metadata: name: my-secret type: Opaque data: api-key:

In this example, you create a Kubernetes secret named `my-secret` that stores an API key encoded in base64. Flagger can then reference this secret in your deployment manifests to keep sensitive data secure.
