If you want to get started quickly, check out the quickstart tutorial.

If you’re looking for a specific use case, check out the examples below:

A Tale of Two Secrets

There are two kinds of “secret“s mentioned throughout this documentation:

Secrets that are stored in VSecM Safe: When discussing these, they will be used like a regular word “secret” or, emphasized “secret”; however, you will never see them in monotype text.

The other kind of secret is Kubernetes Secret objects. Those types will be explicitly mentioned as “Kubernetes Secrets” in the documentation.

We hope this distinction helps you navigate the documentation more easily.
