Runtime Secrets Rotation Operator
Seed: secrets_store (Vault), runtime_binding_points, rotation_policy; sample: rotate DB creds hourly with rolling restartADVERTISEMENT - IN-ARTICLE
Implementation Guide
Build an operator that performs non-disruptive rotation of runtime secrets (DB credentials, API keys) with zero-downtime reloads of bound services. Include verification steps post-rotation, rollback on failures, and audit logging. Provide safe rollout strategies by staggering rotations across replicas and health-checking service bindings.
