2025-02-03, 14:50–15:40, Ansible 1 (B.1.017)
SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) is a tool for managing encrypted secrets for DevOps. This talk compares it to other solutions and shows how it can be used to manage secrets in Ansible.
In this talk I will give an introduction to SOPS, then show how it compares to other secret managment solutions that can be used in Ansible (Ansible Vault, HashiCorp Vault, BitWarden, etc.), talk for which situations / team sizes I think SOPS is suitable, and will showcase using SOPS with the community.sops Ansible collection to solve some practical problems in Ansible.
