        ACM-644 - Key and Secret Management
 
Epic Goal
- We would like to have an official way to do SecretsManagement.
ExternalSecretsOperator (https://github.com/external-secrets/external-secrets/)
It has large adoption and is e.g. used by Redhat's ValidatedPatterns (https://redhat-gitops-patterns.io/secrets/vault/). 
Why is this important?
- we want to provide an official supported solution for SecretsManagement. We know there are many ways and this looks best regarding
adoption and supported providers.
