Components

Overview

Exernal Secrets comes with three components: Core Controller, Webhook and Cert Controller.

This is due to the need to implement conversion webhooks in order to convert custom resources between api versions and to provide a ValidatingWebhook for the ExternalSecret and SecretStore resources.

These features are optional but highly recommended. You can disable them with helm chart values certController.create=false and webhook.create=false.
