Kubernetes Secrets by default aren't secure. In fact, some Kubernetes documentation itself even recommends to take a look at a third party utility. In short (but you'll learn more about it in this session), it's because secrets are stored in plain-text by default.

Looking through different secret solutions for Kubernetes, one always pops up in production environments - Vault.

In this session, you'll learn:
- How to incorporate Vault in a live Kubernetes environment.
- Deploy Vault as a Kubernetes Deployment.
- see the code in real-time for proper Vault/Kubernetes configurations.
- Learn how you can utilize secrets to secure any configuration data that you don't want in plain text (passwords, API keys, etc.)
