Confluent Secrets Providers

Last update: April 4th 2023 (v1.0.7)

Introduction

With a typical Confluent Kafka Platform installation, secrets are stored within that cluster only.

This software was developed as a Confluent Customer Solutions and Innovation Divison (CSID) Accelerator. This CSID Accelerator enables the use of external third-party systems for securely storing and retrieving key/value pairs, commonly used for passwords, for example. In some cases, this can be used to store symmetric keys and asymmetric (public/private) keys.

Third-party systems that integrations have been developed for, and included here:

• Hashicorp Vault
• Amazon Web Services (AWS) Secrets Manager
• Google Secret Manager
• Microsoft Azure Key Vault
• Kubernetes Secrets
