Key Vault Integration with AKS — Azure

Azure Key Vault allows you to securely access sensitive information from within your applications → Keys, secrets, and certificates are protected without you’re having to write the code yourself, and you can easily use them from your applications.

The Kubernetes Secrets Store CSI Driver integrates secrets stores with Kubernetes through a Container Storage Interface (CSI) volume. If you integrate the Secrets Store CSI Driver with AKS enabled by Azure Arc, you can mount secrets, keys, and certificates as a volume.

The SecretProviderClass is a namespaced resource in the Secrets Store CSI Provider that is used to provide configurations and provider-specific parameters to the CSI provider.
