## Sync Dynamic Secrets to your cluster
### Example usage
The example below demonstrates a sample InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD that creates a dynamic secret lease in Infisical, and syncs the lease to your Kubernetes cluster.
```yaml dynamic-secret-crd.yaml
apiVersion: secrets.infisical.com/v1alpha1
kind: InfisicalDynamicSecret
metadata:
name: infisicaldynamicsecret
spec:
hostAPI: https://app.infisical.com/api # Optional, defaults to https://app.infisical.com/api
dynamicSecret:
secretName: <dynamic-secret-name>
projectId: <project-id>
secretsPath: <path/to/dynamic-secret> # Root directory is /
environmentSlug: <env-slug>
# Lease revocation policy defines what should happen to leases created by the operator if the CRD is deleted.
# If set to "Revoke", leases will be revoked when the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD is deleted.
leaseRevocationPolicy: Revoke
# Lease TTL defines how long the lease should last for the dynamic secret.
# This value must be less than 1 day, and if a max TTL is defined on the dynamic secret, it must be below the max TTL.
leaseTTL: 1m
# A reference to the secret that the dynamic secret lease should be stored in.
# If the secret doesn't exist, it will automatically be created.
managedSecretReference:
secretName: <secret-name>
secretNamespace: default # Must be the same namespace as the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD.
creationPolicy: Orphan
# Only have one authentication method defined or you are likely to run into authentication issues.
# Remove all except one authentication method.
authentication:
awsIamAuth:
identityId: <machine-identity-id>
azureAuth:
identityId: <machine-identity-id>
gcpIamAuth:
identityId: <machine-identity-id>
serviceAccountKeyFilePath: </path-to-service-account-key-file.json>
gcpIdTokenAuth:
identityId: <machine-identity-id>
kubernetesAuth:
identityId: <machine-identity-id>
serviceAccountRef:
name: <secret-name>
namespace: <secret-namespace>
universalAuth:
credentialsRef:
secretName: <secret-name> # universal-auth-credentials
secretNamespace: <secret-namespace> # default
```
Apply the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD to your cluster.
```bash
kubectl apply -f dynamic-secret-crd.yaml
```
After applying the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD, you should notice that the dynamic secret lease has been created in Infisical and synced to your Kubernetes cluster. You can verify that the lease has been created by doing:
```bash
kubectl get secret <managed-secret-name> -o yaml
```
After getting the secret, you should should see that the secret has data that contains the lease credentials.
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
data:
DB_PASSWORD: VHhETjZ4c2xsTXpOSWdPYW5LLlRyNEc2alVKYml6WiQjQS0tNTdodyREM3ZLZWtYSi4hTkdyS0F+TVFsLU9CSA==
DB_USERNAME: cHg4Z0dJTUVBcHdtTW1aYnV3ZWRsekJRRll6cW4wFEE=
kind: Secret
# .....
```
### InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD properties
<Accordion title="hostAPI">
If you are fetching secrets from a self-hosted instance of Infisical set the value of `hostAPI` to
` https://your-self-hosted-instace.com/api`
When `hostAPI` is not defined the operator fetches secrets from Infisical Cloud.
<Accordion title="Advanced use case">
If you have installed your Infisical instance within the same cluster as the Infisical operator, you can optionally access the Infisical backend's service directly without having to route through the public internet.
To achieve this, use the following address for the hostAPI field:
``` bash
http://<backend-svc-name>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local:4000/api
```
Make sure to replace `<backend-svc-name>` and `<namespace>` with the appropriate values for your backend service and namespace.
</Accordion>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="leaseTTL">
The `leaseTTL` is a string-formatted duration that defines the time the lease should last for the dynamic secret.
The format of the field is `[duration][unit]` where `duration` is a number and `unit` is a string representing the unit of time.
The following units are supported:
- `s` for seconds (must be at least 5 seconds)
- `m` for minutes
- `h` for hours
- `d` for days
<Note>
The lease duration at most be 1 day (24 hours). And the TTL must be less than the max TTL defined on the dynamic secret.
</Note>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference">
The `managedSecretReference` field is used to define the Kubernetes secret where the dynamic secret lease should be stored. The required fields are `secretName` and `secretNamespace`.
```yaml
spec:
managedSecretReference:
secretName: <secret-name>
secretNamespace: default
```
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.secretName">
The name of the Kubernetes secret where the dynamic secret lease should be stored.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.secretNamespace">
The namespace of the Kubernetes secret where the dynamic secret lease should be stored.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.creationPolicy">
Creation polices allow you to control whether or not owner references should be added to the managed Kubernetes secret that is generated by the Infisical operator.
This is useful for tools such as ArgoCD, where every resource requires an owner reference; otherwise, it will be pruned automatically.
#### Available options
- `Orphan` (default)
- `Owner`
<Tip>
When creation policy is set to `Owner`, the `InfisicalSecret` CRD must be in
the same namespace as where the managed kubernetes secret.
</Tip>
This field is optional.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.secretType">
Override the default Opaque type for managed secrets with this field. Useful for creating kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson secrets.
This field is optional.
</Accordion>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="leaseRevocationPolicy">
The field is optional and will default to `None` if not defined.
The lease revocation policy defines what the operator should do with the leases created by the operator, when the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD is deleted.
Valid values are `None` and `Revoke`.
Behavior of each policy:
- `None`: The operator will not override existing secrets in Infisical. If a secret with the same key already exists, the operator will skip pushing that secret, and the secret will not be managed by the operator.
- `Revoke`: The operator will revoke the leases created by the operator when the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD is deleted.
```yaml
spec:
leaseRevocationPolicy: Revoke
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="dynamicSecret">
The `dynamicSecret` field is used to specify which dynamic secret to create leases for. The required fields are `secretName`, `projectId`, `secretsPath`, and `environmentSlug`.

<Accordion title="authentication">
The `authentication` field dictates which authentication method to use when pushing secrets to Infisical.
The available authentication methods are `universalAuth`, `kubernetesAuth`, `awsIamAuth`, `azureAuth`, `gcpIdTokenAuth`, and `gcpIamAuth`.
<Accordion title="universalAuth">
The universal authentication method is one of the easiest ways to get started with Infisical. Universal Auth works anywhere and is not tied to any specific cloud provider.

### Applying the InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD to your cluster
Once you have configured the `InfisicalDynamicSecret` CRD with the required fields, you can apply it to your cluster. After applying, you should notice that a lease has been created in Infisical and synced to your Kubernetes cluster.
```bash
kubectl apply -f dynamic-secret-crd.yaml
```
### Auto redeployment
Deployments using managed secrets don't reload automatically on updates, so they may use outdated secrets unless manually redeployed.
To address this, we added functionality to automatically redeploy your deployment when its managed secret updates.
#### Enabling auto redeploy
To enable auto redeployment you simply have to add the following annotation to the deployment that consumes a managed secret
```yaml
secrets.infisical.com/auto-reload: "true"
```
<Accordion title="Deployment example with auto redeploy enabled">
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
labels:
app: nginx
annotations:
secrets.infisical.com/auto-reload: "true" # <- redeployment annotation
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:1.14.2
envFrom:
- secretRef:
name: managed-secret # The name of your managed secret, the same that you're using in your InfisicalDynamicSecret CRD (spec.managedSecretReference.secretName)
ports:
- containerPort: 80
```
</Accordion>
<Info>
#### How it works
When the lease changes, the operator will check to see which deployments are using the operator-managed Kubernetes secret that received the update.
Then, for each deployment that has this annotation present, a rolling update will be triggered. A redeployment won't happen if the lease is renewed, only if it's recreated.

## Push Secrets to Infisical
### Example usage
Below is a sample InfisicalPushSecret CRD that pushes secrets defined in a Kubernetes secret to Infisical.
After filling out the fields in the InfisicalPushSecret CRD, you can apply it directly to your cluster.
Before applying the InfisicalPushSecret CRD, you need to create a Kubernetes secret containing the secrets you want to push to Infisical. An example can be seen below the InfisicalPushSecret CRD.
```yaml infisical-push-secret.yaml
apiVersion: secrets.infisical.com/v1alpha1
kind: InfisicalPushSecret
metadata:
name: infisical-push-secret-demo
spec:
resyncInterval: 1m
hostAPI: https://app.infisical.com/api
# Optional, defaults to no replacement.
updatePolicy: Replace # If set to replace, existing secrets inside Infisical will be replaced by the value of the PushSecret on sync.
# Optional, defaults to no deletion.
deletionPolicy: Delete # If set to delete, the secret(s) inside Infisical managed by the operator, will be deleted if the InfisicalPushSecret CRD is deleted.
destination:
projectId: <project-id>
environmentSlug: <env-slug>
secretsPath: <secret-path>

### InfisicalSecret CRD properties
<Accordion title="hostAPI">
If you are fetching secrets from a self-hosted instance of Infisical set the value of `hostAPI` to
` https://your-self-hosted-instace.com/api`
When `hostAPI` is not defined the operator fetches secrets from Infisical Cloud.
<Accordion title="Advanced use case">
If you have installed your Infisical instance within the same cluster as the Infisical operator, you can optionally access the Infisical backend's service directly without having to route through the public internet.
To achieve this, use the following address for the hostAPI field:
``` bash
http://<backend-svc-name>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local:4000/api
```
Make sure to replace `<backend-svc-name>` and `<namespace>` with the appropriate values for your backend service and namespace.
</Accordion>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="resyncInterval">
This property defines the time in seconds between each secret re-sync from
Infisical. Shorter time between re-syncs will require higher rate limits only
available on paid plans. Default re-sync interval is every 1 minute.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="tls">
This block defines the TLS settings to use for connecting to the Infisical
instance.
</Accordion>

so that secrets can be fetched
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="authentication.universalAuth">
The universal machine identity authentication method is used to authenticate with Infisical. The client ID and client secret needs to be stored in a Kubernetes secret. This block defines the reference to the name and namespace of secret that stores these credentials.
<Steps>
<Step title="Create a machine identity">
You need to create a machine identity, and give it access to the project(s) you want to interact with. You can [read more about machine identities here](/documentation/platform/identities/universal-auth).
</Step>
<Step title="Create Kubernetes secret containing machine identity credentials">
Once you have created your machine identity and added it to your project(s), you will need to create a Kubernetes secret containing the identity credentials.
To quickly create a Kubernetes secret containing the identity credentials, you can run the command below.
Make sure you replace `<your-identity-client-id>` with the identity client ID and `<your-identity-client-secret>` with the identity client secret.
``` bash
kubectl create secret generic universal-auth-credentials --from-literal=clientId="<your-identity-client-id>" --from-literal=clientSecret="<your-identity-client-secret>"
```
</Step>
<Step title="Add reference for the Kubernetes secret containing the identity credentials">
Once the secret is created, add the `secretName` and `secretNamespace` of the secret that was just created under `authentication.universalAuth.credentialsRef` field in the InfisicalSecret resource.
</Step>
</Steps>
<Info>
Make sure to also populate the `secretsScope` field with the project slug
_`projectSlug`_, environment slug _`envSlug`_, and secrets path
_`secretsPath`_ that you want to fetch secrets from. Please see the example
below.
</Info>
## Example
```yaml
apiVersion: secrets.infisical.com/v1alpha1
kind: InfisicalSecret
metadata:
name: infisicalsecret-sample-crd
spec:
authentication:
universalAuth:
secretsScope:

secretNamespace: default # <-- namespace of the Kubernetes secret that stores our machine identity credentials
...
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="authentication.kubernetesAuth">
The Kubernetes machine identity authentication method is used to authenticate with Infisical. The identity ID is stored in a field in the InfisicalSecret resource. This authentication method can only be used within a Kubernetes environment.
<Steps>
<Step title="Obtaining the token reviewer JWT for Infisical">
1.1. Start by creating a service account in your Kubernetes cluster that will be used by Infisical to authenticate with the Kubernetes API Server.
```yaml infisical-service-account.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: infisical-auth
namespace: default
```
```
kubectl apply -f infisical-service-account.yaml
```
1.2. Bind the service account to the `system:auth-delegator` cluster role. As described [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#other-component-roles), this role allows delegated authentication and authorization checks, specifically for Infisical to access the [TokenReview API](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/authentication-resources/token-review-v1/). You can apply the following configuration file:
```yaml cluster-role-binding.yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: role-tokenreview-binding
namespace: default
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: system:auth-delegator
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: infisical-auth
namespace: default
```
```
kubectl apply -f cluster-role-binding.yaml
```
1.3. Next, create a long-lived service account JWT token (i.e. the token reviewer JWT token) for the service account using this configuration file for a new `Secret` resource:
```yaml service-account-token.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
metadata:
name: infisical-auth-token
annotations:
kubernetes.io/service-account.name: "infisical-auth"
```
```
kubectl apply -f service-account-token.yaml
```
1.4. Link the secret in step 1.3 to the service account in step 1.1:
```bash
kubectl patch serviceaccount infisical-auth -p '{"secrets": [{"name": "infisical-auth-token"}]}' -n default
```
1.5. Finally, retrieve the token reviewer JWT token from the secret.
```bash
kubectl get secret infisical-auth-token -n default -o=jsonpath='{.data.token}' | base64 --decode
```
Keep this JWT token handy as you will need it for the **Token Reviewer JWT** field when configuring the Kubernetes Auth authentication method for the identity in step 2.
</Step>
<Step title="Creating an identity">
To create an identity, head to your Organization Settings > Access Control > Machine Identities and press **Create identity**.
![identities organization](/images/platform/identities/identities-org.png)
When creating an identity, you specify an organization level [role](/documentation/platform/role-based-access-controls) for it to assume; you can configure roles in Organization Settings > Access Control > Organization Roles.
![identities organization create](/images/platform/identities/identities-org-create.png)
Now input a few details for your new identity. Here's some guidance for each field:
- Name (required): A friendly name for the identity.
- Role (required): A role from the **Organization Roles** tab for the identity to assume. The organization role assigned will determine what organization level resources this identity can have access to.
Once you've created an identity, you'll be prompted to configure the authentication method for it. Here, select **Kubernetes Auth**.
<Info>
To learn more about each field of the Kubernetes native authentication method, see step 2 of [guide](/documentation/platform/identities/kubernetes-auth#guide).
</Info>
![identities organization create auth method](/images/platform/identities/identities-org-create-kubernetes-auth-method.png)
</Step>
<Step title="Adding an identity to a project">
To allow the operator to use the given identity to access secrets, you will need to add the identity to project(s) that you would like to grant it access to.
To do this, head over to the project you want to add the identity to and go to Project Settings > Access Control > Machine Identities and press **Add identity**.
Next, select the identity you want to add to the project and the project level role you want to allow it to assume. The project role assigned will determine what project level resources this identity can have access to.
![identities project](/images/platform/identities/identities-project.png)
![identities project create](/images/platform/identities/identities-project-create.png)
</Step>
<Step title="Add your identity ID & service account to your InfisicalSecret resource">
Once you have created your machine identity and added it to your project(s), you will need to add the identity ID to your InfisicalSecret resource.
In the `authentication.kubernetesAuth.identityId` field, add the identity ID of the machine identity you created.
See the example below for more details.
</Step>
<Step title="Add your Kubernetes service account token to the InfisicalSecret resource">
Add the service account details from the previous steps under `authentication.kubernetesAuth.serviceAccountRef`.
Here you will need to enter the name and namespace of the service account.
The example below shows a complete InfisicalSecret resource with all required fields defined.
</Step>

The service token required to authenticate with Infisical needs to be stored in a Kubernetes secret. This block defines the reference to the name and namespace of secret that stores this service token.
Follow the instructions below to create and store the service token in a Kubernetes secrets and reference it in your CRD.
#### 1. Generate service token
You can generate a [service token](../../documentation/platform/token) for an Infisical project by heading over to the Infisical dashboard then to Project Settings.
#### 2. Create Kubernetes secret containing service token
Once you have generated the service token, you will need to create a Kubernetes secret containing the service token you generated.
To quickly create a Kubernetes secret containing the generated service token, you can run the command below. Make sure you replace `<your-service-token-here>` with your service token.
```bash
kubectl create secret generic service-token --from-literal=infisicalToken="<your-service-token-here>"
```
#### 3. Add reference for the Kubernetes secret containing service token
Once the secret is created, add the name and namespace of the secret that was just created under `authentication.serviceToken.serviceTokenSecretReference` field in the InfisicalSecret resource.

</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference">
The `managedSecretReference` field is used to define the target location for storing secrets retrieved from an Infisical project.
This field requires specifying both the name and namespace of the Kubernetes secret that will hold these secrets.
The Infisical operator will automatically create the Kubernetes secret with the specified name/namespace and keep it continuously updated.
Note: The managed secret be should be created in the same namespace as the deployment that will use it.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.secretName">
The name of the managed Kubernetes secret to be created
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.secretNamespace">
The namespace of the managed Kubernetes secret to be created.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.secretType">
Override the default Opaque type for managed secrets with this field. Useful for creating kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson secrets.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.template">
Templates enable you to transform data from Infisical before storing it as a Kubernetes Secret.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.template.includeAllSecrets">
When set to true, this option injects all secrets retrieved from Infisical into your configuration.
Secrets defined in the template will override the automatically injected secrets.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.template.data">
Define secret keys and their corresponding templates.
Each data value uses a Golang template with access to all secrets retrieved from the specified scope.
Secrets are structured as follows:
```golang
type TemplateSecret struct {
Value string `json:"value"`
SecretPath string `json:"secretPath"`
}
```
#### Example template configuration:
```golang
managedSecretReference:
secretName: managed-secret
secretNamespace: default
template:
includeAllSecrets: true
data:
NEW_KEY: "{{ .KEY1.SecretPath }} {{ .KEY1.Value }}"
```
When you run the following command:
```bash
kubectl get secret managed-secret -o jsonpath='{.data}'
```
You'll receive Kubernetes secrets output that includes the NEW_KEY:
```bash
{... "KEY":"d29ybGQ=","NEW_KEY":"LyBoZWxsbw=="}
```
When you set `includeAllSecrets` as `false` the Kubernetes secrets outputs will be:
```bash
{"NEW_KEY":"LyBoZWxsbw=="}
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="managedSecretReference.creationPolicy">
Creation polices allow you to control whether or not owner references should be added to the managed Kubernetes secret that is generated by the Infisical operator.
This is useful for tools such as ArgoCD, where every resource requires an owner reference; otherwise, it will be pruned automatically.
#### Available options
- `Orphan` (default)
- `Owner`
<Tip>
When creation policy is set to `Owner`, the `InfisicalSecret` CRD must be in
the same namespace as where the managed kubernetes secret.
</Tip>
</Accordion>
### Propagating labels & annotations
The operator will transfer all labels & annotations present on the `InfisicalSecret` CRD to the managed Kubernetes secret to be created.
Thus, if a specific label is required on the resulting secret, it can be applied as demonstrated in the following example:
<Accordion title="Example propagation">
```yaml
apiVersion: secrets.infisical.com/v1alpha1
kind: InfisicalSecret
metadata:
name: infisicalsecret-sample
labels:
label-to-be-passed-to-managed-secret: sample-value
annotations:
example.com/annotation-to-be-passed-to-managed-secret: "sample-value"
spec:
..
authentication:
...
managedSecretReference:
...
```
This would result in the following managed secret to be created:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
data: ...
kind: Secret
metadata:
annotations:
example.com/annotation-to-be-passed-to-managed-secret: sample-value
secrets.infisical.com/version: W/"3f1-ZyOSsrCLGSkAhhCkY2USPu2ivRw"
labels:
label-to-be-passed-to-managed-secret: sample-value
name: managed-token
namespace: default
type: Opaque
```
</Accordion>
### Apply the InfisicalSecret CRD to your cluster
Once you have configured the InfisicalSecret CRD with the required fields, you can apply it to your cluster.
After applying, you should notice that the managed secret has been created in the desired namespace your specified.
```
kubectl apply -f example-infisical-secret-crd.yaml
```
### Verify managed secret creation
To verify that the operator has successfully created the managed secret, you can check the secrets in the namespace that was specified.
```bash
# Verify managed secret is created
kubectl get secrets -n <namespace of managed secret>
```
<Info>
The Infisical secrets will be synced and stored into the managed secret every
1 minutes.
</Info>
### Using managed secret in your deployment
Incorporating the managed secret created by the operator into your deployment can be achieved through several methods.
Here, we will highlight three of the most common ways to utilize it. Learn more about Kubernetes secrets [here](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/)
<Accordion title="envFrom">
This will take all the secrets from your managed secret and expose them to your container
````yaml
envFrom:
- secretRef:
name: managed-secret # managed secret name
```
Example usage in a deployment
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:1.14.2
envFrom:
- secretRef:
name: managed-secret # <- name of managed secret
ports:
- containerPort: 80
````
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="env">
This will allow you to select individual secrets by key name from your managed secret and expose them to your container
```yaml
env:
- name: SECRET_NAME # The environment variable's name which is made available in the container
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: managed-secret # managed secret name
key: SOME_SECRET_KEY # The name of the key which exists in the managed secret
```
Example usage in a deployment
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx

env: - name: STRIPE_API_SECRET
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
name: managed-secret # <- name of managed secret
key: STRIPE_API_SECRET
ports: - containerPort: 80
```
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="volumes">
This will allow you to create a volume on your container which comprises of files holding the secrets in your managed kubernetes secret
```yaml
volumes:
- name: secrets-volume-name # The name of the volume under which secrets will be stored
secret:
secretName: managed-secret # managed secret name
````
You can then mount this volume to the container's filesystem so that your deployment can access the files containing the managed secrets
```yaml
volumeMounts:
- name: secrets-volume-name
mountPath: /etc/secrets
readOnly: true
```
Example usage in a deployment
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:

mountPath: /etc/secrets
readOnly: true
ports:
- containerPort: 80
volumes:
- name: secrets-volume-name
secret:
secretName: managed-secret # <- managed secrets
```
</Accordion>
The definition file of the Kubernetes secret for the CA certificate can be structured like the following:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: custom-ca-certificate
type: Opaque
stringData:
ca.crt: |
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIEZzCCA0+gAwIBAgIUDk9+HZcMHppiNy0TvoBg8/aMEqIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEL

Deployments using managed secrets don't reload automatically on updates, so they may use outdated secrets unless manually redeployed.
To address this, we added functionality to automatically redeploy your deployment when its managed secret updates.
#### Enabling auto redeploy
To enable auto redeployment you simply have to add the following annotation to the deployment that consumes a managed secret
```yaml
secrets.infisical.com/auto-reload: "true"
```
<Accordion title="Deployment example with auto redeploy enabled">
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx-deployment
labels:
app: nginx
annotations:
secrets.infisical.com/auto-reload: "true" # <- redeployment annotation
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:1.14.2
envFrom:
- secretRef:
name: managed-secret
ports:
- containerPort: 80
```
</Accordion>
<Info>
#### How it works
When a secret change occurs, the operator will check to see which deployments are using the operator-managed Kubernetes secret that received the update.
Then, for each deployment that has this annotation present, a rolling update will be triggered.

![title](../../../images/k8-diagram.png)
The Infisical Secrets Operator is a Kubernetes controller that retrieves secrets from Infisical and stores them in a designated cluster.
It uses an `InfisicalSecret` resource to specify authentication and storage methods.
The operator continuously updates secrets and can also reload dependent deployments automatically.
<Note>
If you are already using the External Secrets operator, you can view the
integration documentation for it
[here](https://external-secrets.io/latest/provider/infisical/).
</Note>
## Install Operator
The operator can be install via [Helm](https://helm.sh). Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows you to define, install, and upgrade Kubernetes applications.
**Install the latest Infisical Helm repository**
```bash
helm repo add infisical-helm-charts 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/infisical/helm-charts/helm/charts/'
helm repo update
```
**Install the Helm chart**
To select a specific version, view the application versions [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/infisical/kubernetes-operator/tags) and chart versions [here](https://cloudsmith.io/~infisical/repos/helm-charts/packages/detail/helm/secrets-operator/#versions)
```bash
helm install --generate-name infisical-helm-charts/secrets-operator
```
```bash
# Example installing app version v0.2.0 and chart version 0.1.4
helm install --generate-name infisical-helm-charts/secrets-operator --version=0.1.4 --set controllerManager.manager.image.tag=v0.2.0
```
**Namespace-scoped Installation**
The operator can be configured to watch and manage secrets in a specific namespace instead of having cluster-wide access. This is useful for:
- **Enhanced Security**: Limit the operator's permissions to only specific namespaces instead of cluster-wide access
- **Multi-tenant Clusters**: Run separate operator instances for different teams or applications
- **Resource Isolation**: Ensure operators in different namespaces don't interfere with each other
- **Development & Testing**: Run development and production operators side by side in isolated namespaces
**Note**: For multiple namespace-scoped installations, only the first installation should install CRDs. Subsequent installations should set `installCRDs: false` to avoid conflicts.
```bash
# First namespace installation (with CRDs)
helm install operator-namespace1 infisical-helm-charts/secrets-operator \
--namespace first-namespace \
--set scopedNamespace=first-namespace \
--set scopedRBAC=true
# Subsequent namespace installations
helm install operator-namespace2 infisical-helm-charts/secrets-operator \
--namespace another-namespace \
--set scopedNamespace=another-namespace \
--set scopedRBAC=true \
--set installCRDs=false
```
When scoped to a namespace, the operator will:
- Only watch InfisicalSecrets in the specified namespace
- Only create/update Kubernetes secrets in that namespace
- Only access deployments in that namespace
The default configuration gives cluster-wide access:
```yaml
installCRDs: true # Install CRDs (set to false for additional namespace installations)
scopedNamespace: "" # Empty for cluster-wide access
scopedRBAC: false # Cluster-wide permissions
```
If you want to install operators in multiple namespaces simultaneously:
- Make sure to set `installCRDs: false` for all but one of the installations to avoid conflicts, as CRDs are cluster-wide resources.
- Use unique release names for each installation (e.g., operator-namespace1, operator-namespace2).
## Custom Resource Definitions (CRD's)
Currently the operator supports the following CRD's. We are constantly expanding the functionality of the operator, and this list will be updated as new CRD's are added.
1. [InfisicalSecret](/integrations/platforms/kubernetes/infisical-secret-crd): Sync secrets from Infisical to a Kubernetes secret.
2. [InfisicalPushSecret](/integrations/platforms/kubernetes/infisical-push-secret-crd): Push secrets from a Kubernetes secret to Infisical.
3. [InfisicalDynamicSecret](/integrations/platforms/kubernetes/infisical-dynamic-secret-crd): Sync dynamic secrets and create leases automatically in Kubernetes.
## Connecting to instances with private/self-signed certificate
To connect to Infisical instances behind a private/self-signed certificate, you can configure the TLS settings in the CRD
to point to a CA certificate stored in a Kubernetes secret resource.
```yaml
---
spec:
hostAPI: https://app.infisical.com/api
tls:
caRef:
secretName: custom-ca-certificate
secretNamespace: default
key: ca.crt
---
```
## Global configuration
To configure global settings that will apply to all instances of `InfisicalSecret`, you can define these configurations in a Kubernetes ConfigMap.
For example, you can configure all `InfisicalSecret` instances to fetch secrets from a single backend API without specifying the `hostAPI` parameter for each instance.
### Available global properties
| Property | Description | Default value |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| hostAPI | If `hostAPI` in `InfisicalSecret` instance is left empty, this value will be used | https://app.infisical.com/api |
### Applying global configurations
All global configurations must reside in a Kubernetes ConfigMap named `infisical-config` in the namespace `infisical-operator-system`.
To apply global configuration to the operator, copy the following yaml into `infisical-config.yaml` file.
```yaml infisical-config.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
name: infisical-operator-system
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: infisical-config
namespace: infisical-operator-system
data:
hostAPI: https://example.com/api # <-- global hostAPI
```
Then apply this change via kubectl by running the following
```bash
kubectl apply -f infisical-config.yaml
```
## Troubleshoot operator
If the operator is unable to fetch secrets from the API, it will not affect the managed Kubernetes secret.
It will continue attempting to reconnect to the API indefinitely.
The InfisicalSecret resource uses the `status.conditions` field to report its current state and any errors encountered.
```yaml
$ kubectl get infisicalSecrets
NAME AGE
infisicalsecret-sample 12s
$ kubectl describe infisicalSecret infisicalsecret-sample
...
Spec:
...
Status:
Conditions:
Last Transition Time: 2022-12-18T04:29:09Z
Message: Infisical controller has located the Infisical token in provided Kubernetes secret
Reason: OK

Message: Failed to update secret because: 400 Bad Request
Reason: Error
Status: False
Type: secrets.infisical.com/ReadyToSyncSecrets
Events: <none>
```
## Uninstall Operator
The managed secret created by the operator will not be deleted when the operator is uninstalled.
