mkann

mkann is a command-line utility designed for managing Kubernetes secrets. It allows users to easily create, update, and delete Kubernetes secrets from a file or directly from the command line. The tool focuses on simplifying the process of handling sensitive information within a Kubernetes cluster.

One of mkann's primary features is its ability to encrypt secrets before they are stored. This encryption can be done using a user-defined key, adding an extra layer of security for sensitive data. The tool supports various encryption methods, making it adaptable to different security requirements. It aims to provide a more secure and manageable way to handle secrets compared to storing them in plain text.

mkann also offers functionalities for exporting secrets, which can be useful for auditing or migrating secrets between environments. The command-line interface is designed to be intuitive, with clear commands and options for common secret management tasks. Users can specify the namespace, secret name, and data source when creating or updating a secret. The project is typically available as an open-source tool, allowing for community contributions and transparency in its development. Its use case is primarily for developers and operations teams working with Kubernetes who need a streamlined and secure method for managing their application's sensitive configurations.
