Description: Docker secrets are a feature designed to manage sensitive data within container orchestration environments. This functionality allows developers and system administrators to securely store and handle confidential information, such as passwords, API keys, and certificates, efficiently. Secrets are stored in an encrypted format and distributed to the containers that require them, ensuring that only authorized services can access them. This secret management is crucial in modern applications, where security and privacy are priorities. Additionally, Docker secrets integrate natively with orchestration tools, facilitating the implementation of DevOps practices and automating deployments. By using this feature, organizations can reduce the risk of exposing sensitive data and enhance the overall security of their containerized applications.
