Summary
GitLab Secrets Manager now integrates with External Secrets Operator (ESO) and Terraform, enabling streamlined secret management across CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, and more. This update allows for secure secret retrieval from a centralized source, reducing the complexity of handling multiple tools. It supports JWT authentication for better security in accessing secrets, especially useful in Terraform to prevent credential leaks. The feature is currently in beta for GitLab Premium and Ultimate users.
