Is Your Secrets Management Open, Simple, and Reliable?
06-06, 11:00–11:50 (Europe/Brussels), Kleine Spoel

Managing secrets has evolved from sticky notes to thousands of workloads that need to communicate and authenticate securely. But many organisations are still stuck with proprietary, expensive, and complex solutions.

In this talk, Robert de Bock (DevOps Architect) and Roel de Cort (DevOps Professional) from Adfinis introduce OpenBao, an open source, vendor-neutral secrets management platform. They walk through why secrets management has become a critical challenge, how OpenBao compares to proprietary alternatives like Azure Key Vault and AWS KMS, and what the path to zero-trust automation looks like in practice.

The session includes live demos on migration tooling and horizontal scaling, making it practical and hands-on.
