Gitops using Helmsman to apply our Helm Charts to k8s

Marco Franssen / August 9, 2021

In my last blog series I have shown an example of deploying Hashicorp Vault on Kubernetes using Helm Charts (see references). This time I want to show you how to more easily integrate this into your … wait for it … 😄, DevSecGitOps flow. Especially Helm charts help a lot in connecting the software part with our infrastructure / deployment (DevOps). Besides that we can embed all kind of security practices in our Helm charts like for example RBAC, Network policies etc. In this blog I want to show…

Install Hashicorp Vault on Kubernetes using Helm - Part 2

Marco Franssen / July 25, 2021

In part 1 we had a look at setting up our prerequisuites and running Hashicorp Vault on our local Kubernetes cluster. This time we will have a look at deploying Hashicorp Vault on a EKS cluster at AWS. This time we will deploy a Vault cluster in High Availability mode using Hashicorp Consul and we will use AWS KMS to auto unseal our Vault. First lets have a look at the new tools we are about to introduce. If you didn't read part 1, you might consider reading that first to get a bit more underds…

I assume most of you will know about Hashicorp Vault, Helm, Kubernetes and Consul and therefore I will not go very much in details on the tools themself. In this first article of the series we…
