Hi Team, just wanted to share the alpha release of another tool in the open-source Bank-Vaults ecosystem, which is the next building block to enhance secret injection into Kubernetes workloads along with our [mutating webhook](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-webhook) and the [secret sync](https://github.com/bank-vaults/secret-sync) project announced not a long time ago: ## ## 🎉 New Project - Vault Secrets Reloader 🎉 We are excited to announce the alpha release of [**Vault Secrets Reloader**](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader), a Kubernetes Controller that reloads workloads on a referenced secret change in HashiCorp Vault. **Vault Secret Reloader** can periodically check if a secret that is used in watched workloads has a new version in Hashicorp Vault, and if so, automatically “reloads” them by incrementing an annotation value, initiating a rollout for the workload’s pods. This controller is essentially a complementary to [_Vault Secrets Webhook_](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-webhook), relying on it for actually injecting secrets into the pods of the affected workloads. 🌟 **Features** * **Automated Secret Collection**: Collect secrets from Kubernetes workloads using a special annotation * **Version-Based Secret Comparison**: Cross-reference the collected secrets with their corresponding versions in Vault and reload affected workloads * **Tailored Scheduling**: Customize the frequency of collection and reloading intervals to fit custom requirements To get familiarized, try out the Reloader locally with the help of our [guide](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader/blob/main/README.md#trying-out-vault-secrets-reloader-locally) - you only need Docker to be installed! ❓ **What's next?** We are actively working on adding new features to the Reloader. Check out our [issues page](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader/issues) to see the new features we are working on. 🗣️ **We are looking for feedback!** Your insights are crucial to us. You can support us with your feedback, bug reports, and feature requests by responding to this [announcement](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader/discussions/48), or opening an [issue](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader/issues). This release offers already existing _Vault Secrets Webhook_ users an automated solution for injecting the latest version of their secrets into the pods, contributing to [Bank-Vaults's](https://github.com/bank-vaults) mission to simplify and enhance secret management in the Cloud Native ecosystem. * [GitHub Project 🚀](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader) * [Discussion Board 💬](https://github.com/bank-vaults/vault-secrets-reloader/discussions/48)
