Introduction

Having in-tree providers, while helped ESO being widely adopted, causes several issues related to security and maintenance. It also impacts the ability for an ecossytem around ESO, as everything needs to be merged in-tree for it to properly work.

Goals

Have a new provider and store/generator CRD structure to allow out-of-tree provider compatibility out of the box - implement support for ExternalSecret/PushSecret to leverage this new structure.

Tasks

• Design Out of Tree provider structure
• Implement SecretStore/Generator v2alpha1 basic structure
• Implement fake test provider;
• (if available) Adapt & run conformance tests against this new structure.
• Migrate providers into new structure;
