string
apiserver.config.k8s.io/v1
kind
string
EncryptionConfiguration
resources [Required]
[]ResourceConfiguration

resources is a list containing resources, and their corresponding encryption providers.

AESConfiguration

Appears in:

AESConfiguration contains the API configuration for an AES transformer.

FieldDescription
keys [Required]
[]Key

keys is a list of keys to be used for creating the AES transformer. Each key has to be 32 bytes long for AES-CBC and 16, 24 or 32 bytes for AES-GCM.

IdentityConfiguration

Appears in:

IdentityConfiguration is an empty struct to allow identity transformer in provider configuration.

KMSConfiguration

Appears in:

KMSConfiguration contains the name, cache size and path to configuration file for a KMS based envelope transformer.

FieldDescription
name [Required]
string

name is the name of the KMS plugin to be used.

cachesize
int32

cachesize is the maximum number of secrets which are cached in memory. The default value is 1000. Set to a negative value to disable caching.

endpoint [Required]
string

endpoint is the gRPC server listening address, for example "unix:///var/run/kms-provider.sock".

timeout
meta/v1.Duration

timeout for gRPC calls to kms-plugin (ex. 5s). The default is 3 seconds.

Appears in:

Key contains name and secret of the provided key for a transformer.

FieldDescription
name [Required]
string

name is the name of the key to be used while storing data to disk.

secret [Required]
string

secret is the actual key, encoded in base64.

ProviderConfiguration

[]ProviderConfiguration

providers is a list of transformers to be used for reading and writing the resources to disk. eg: aesgcm, aescbc, secretbox, identity.

SecretboxConfiguration

Appears in:

SecretboxConfiguration contains the API configuration for an Secretbox transformer.

FieldDescription
keys [Required]
[]Key
