In October of last year, I wrote a blog about Secrets Management in Datadog, and the Secret Backend Utility RapDev had developed to work with multiple secrets backends, allowing for exceptional flexibility when working with secrets in Datadog agent and integration configuration files. If you’re unfamiliar with this functionality, feel free to check out my previous blog linked above.

As it stands today, this utility can read and decrypt secrets from the following secret backends:

  • AWS Secrets Manager
  • AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store
  • Azure Key Vault
  • HashiCorp Vault
  • aKeyless
  • Local file

RapDev was recently approached by Datadog about this utility, where we had conversations on how to get it into the hands of more and more customers in order to help and guide them in handling their Datadog credentials in the most secure way. After a couple short conversations, we decided in conjunction with Datadog product teams to officially transfer the ownership of this utility to a Datadog official repository to get increased visibility and more contributions to its functionality. So as of today, RapDev is pleased to announce that Datadog has officially taken over ownership of the tool, and the new Datadog-owned repository can be found on Datadog’s GitHub
