+# Sealed Secrets
+
+In order to store secrets safely in a public or private Git repository, you can use
+Bitnami's [sealed-secrets controller](https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets)
+and encrypt your Kubernetes Secrets into SealedSecrets.
+The sealed secrets can be decrypted only by the controller running in your cluster and
+nobody else can obtain the original secret, even if they have access to the Git repository.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To follow this guide you'll need a Kubernetes cluster with the GitOps 
+toolkit controllers installed on it.
+Please see the [get started guide](../get-started/index.md)
+or the [install command docs](../cmd/tk_install.md).
+
+The sealed-secrets controller comes with a companion CLI tool called kubeseal.
+With kubeseal you can create SealedSecret custom resources in YAML format
+and store those in your Git repository.
+
+Install the kubeseal CLI:
+
+```sh
+brew install kubeseal
+```
+
+For Linux or Windows you can download the kubeseal binary from
+[GitHub](https://github.com/bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets/releases).
+
+## Deploy sealed-secrets with a HelmRelease
+
+You'll be using [helm-controller](../components/helm/controller.md) APIs to install
+the sealed-secrets controller from its [Helm chart](https://hub.kubeapps.com/charts/stable/sealed-secrets).
+
+First you have to register the Helm repository where the sealed-secrets chart is published:
+
+```sh
+tk create source helm stable \
+--interval=1h \
+--url=https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
+```
+
+With `interval` we configure [source-controller](../components/source/controller.md) to download
+the Helm repository index every hour. If a newer version of sealed-secrets is published,
+source-controller will signal helm-controller that a new chart is available.
+
+Create a Helm release that installs the latest version of sealed-secrets controller:
+
+```sh
+tk create helmrelease sealed-secrets \
+--interval=1h \
+--release-name=sealed-secrets \
+--target-namespace=gitops-system \
+--source=stable \
+--chart-name=sealed-secrets \
+--chart-version="^1.10.0"
+```
+
+With chart version `^1.10.0` we configure helm-controller to automatically upgrade the release
+when a new chart version is fetch by source-controller. 
+
+At startup, the sealed-secrets controller generates a 4096-bit RSA key pair and 
+persists the private and public keys as Kubernetes secrets in the `gitops-system` namespace.
+
+You can retrieve the public key with:
+
+```sh
+kubeseal --fetch-cert \
+--controller-name=sealed-secrets \
+--controller-namespace=gitops-system \
+> pub-sealed-secrets.pem
+``` 
+
+The public key can be safely stored in Git, and can be used to encrypt secrets
+without direct access to the Kubernetes cluster.
+
+## Encrypt secrets
+
+Generate a Kubernetes secret manifest with kubectl:
+
+```sh
+kubectl -n default create secret generic basic-auth \
+--from-literal=user=admin \
+--from-literal=password=change-me \
+--dry-run \
+-o yaml > basic-auth.yaml
+```
+
+Encrypt the secret with kubeseal:
+
+```sh
+kubeseal --format=yaml --cert=pub-sealed-secrets.pem \
+< basic-auth.yaml > basic-auth-sealed.yaml
+```
+
+Delete the plain secret and apply the sealed one:
+
+```sh
+rm basic-auth.yaml
+kubectl apply -f basic-auth-sealed.yaml
+```
+
+Verify that the sealed-secrets controller has created the `basic-auth` Kubernetes Secret:
+
+```console
+$ kubectl -n default get secrets basic-auth 
+
+NAME         TYPE     DATA   AGE
+basic-auth   Opaque   2      1m43s
+```
+
+## GitOps workflow
+
+A cluster admin should add the stable `HelmRepository` manifest and the sealed-secrets `HelmRelease`
+to the fleet repository.
+
+Helm repository manifest:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: source.fluxcd.io/v1alpha1
+kind: HelmRepository
+metadata:
+  name: stable
+  namespace: gitops-system
+spec:
+  interval: 1h0m0s
+  url: https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
+```
+
+Helm release manifest:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: helm.fluxcd.io/v2alpha1
+kind: HelmRelease
+metadata:
+  name: sealed-secrets
+  namespace: gitops-system
+spec:
+  chart:
+    name: sealed-secrets
+    sourceRef:
+      kind: HelmRepository
+      name: stable
+    version: "^1.10.0"
+  interval: 1h0m0s
+  releaseName: sealed-secrets
+  targetNamespace: gitops-system
+```
+
+!!! hint
+    You can generate the above manifests using `tk create <kind> --export > manifest.yaml`.
+
+Once the sealed-secrets controller is installed, the admin fetches the 
+public key and shares it with the teams that operate on the fleet clusters via Git.
+
+When a team member wants to create a Kubernetes Secret on a cluster,
+they uses kubeseal and the public key corresponding to that cluster to generate a SealedSecret.
+
+Assuming a team member wants to deploy an application that needs to connect
+to a database using a username and password, they'll be doing the following:
+
+* create a Kubernetes Secret manifest locally with the db credentials e.g. `db-auth.yaml`
+* encrypt the secret with kubeseal as `db-auth-sealed.yaml`
+* delete the original secret file `db-auth.yaml`
+* create a Kubernetes Deployment manifest for the app e.g. `app-deployment.yaml`
+* add the Secret to the Deployment manifest as a [volume mount or env var](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/#using-secrets) using the original name `db-auth`
+* commit the manifests `db-auth-sealed.yaml` and `app-deployment.yaml` to a Git repository that's being synced by the GitOps toolkit controllers
+
+Once the manifests have been pushed to the Git repository, the following happens:
+
+* source-controller pulls the changes from Git
+* kustomize-controller applies the SealedSecret and the Deployment manifests
+* sealed-secrets controller decrypts the SealedSecret and creates a Kubernetes Secret
+* kubelet creates the pods and mounts the secret as a volume or env variable inside the app container
