This pull request adds the external-secrets-operator to our main
bundles. By integrating the external-secrets-operator, we enable
seamless connectivity to external hosted secret management services such
as HashiCorp Vault, 1Password, AWS Secrets Manager, and more.
Benefits:
Unified Secret Management: Allows the application to securely fetch
secrets from external providers without hardcoding them into
configurations.
Flexibility: Supports multiple external secret stores, giving users the
freedom to choose their preferred secret management solution.
Enhanced Security: Reduces the risk of exposing sensitive information by
leveraging established secret management platforms.
