SOPS
An editor of encrypted files that encrypts the values in YAML, JSON and other files while leaving the keys readable.
In more detail
Encrypted secrets can then live in a Git state store and be reviewed as diffs. Flux can decrypt such files when it applies them; the decryption key stays in the cluster.
