Password/sensitive data management in a container based eco system

Abstract:

A configuration map to be transmitted to a container manager within a network is compiled on a client device and transmitted to the container manager managing a cluster of containers within the network. The configuration map is transmitted from the container manager to a validation service endpoint to attempt to validate the compiled configuration map. In response to the transmitting the configuration map from the container manager, a determination is caused to occur at the validation service endpoint whether the configuration map should be validated by the validation service endpoint. The configuration map is received from the validation service endpoint with a new environmental variable, when the validation service endpoint validates the configuration map.
