The SecretStore is namespaced and specifies how to access the external API.
The SecretStore maps to exactly one instance of an external API.
By design, SecretStores are bound to a namespace and can not reference resources across namespaces. If you want to design cross-namespace SecretStores you must use ClusterSecretStores which do not have this limitation.
Different Store Providers have different stability levels, maintenance status, and support. To check the full list, please see Stability Support.
!!! note "Unmaintained Stores generate events"
Admission webhooks and controllers will emit warning events for providers without a explicit maintainer.
To disable controller warning events, you can add `external-secrets.io/ignore-maintenance-checks: "true"` annotation to the SecretStore.
Admission webhook warning cannot be disabled.
For a full list of supported fields see spec or dig into our guides.
