About:
Vals is a CLI tool that loads configuration values from various sources like Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and SOPS, similar to Helm's secret management. It allows you to template these values into configuration files for applications. This provides a unified interface for managing secrets and configs across different environments.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple backends including Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, and SOPS
  • Template configuration files with values from external sources
  • Securely handles secrets and sensitive configuration data
  • CLI tool that can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Managing secrets for Helm charts without storing them in version control
  • Injecting dynamic configuration values into application deployment files
  • Centralizing secret management across different cloud providers and tools
Alternatives:
  • Helm Secrets – Vals is more generic and supports more backends beyond SOPS, while Helm Secrets is specifically for Helm and SOPS
  • HashiCorp Vault – Vals can use Vault as a backend but also supports other sources and provides templating capabilities
