While Akeyless is built to internally store, manage, and protect your secrets, it can also be used to manage secrets stored on other Secret Management services like AWS, GCP, Azure, or Kubernetes (K8s). This can be done by creating a Universal Secrets Connector (USC), that utilizes Targets in order to create local "windows" into the related services, effectively letting you manage them indirectly.

After connecting to your Universal Secrets source, you will be able to manage them from Akeyless, including viewing, adding, updating, deleting, and syncing secrets. The exact secret information that can be displayed in Akeyless varies between providers according to their unique attributes.

Akeyless currently supports creating Universal Secrets Connectors for the following services:

• AWS Universal Secrets Connector

• GCP Universal Secrets Connector

• Azure Universal Secrets Connector

• Kubernetes Universal Secrets Connector

• Hashicorp Vault Universal Secret Connector

To view all your Universal Secret Connectors, log in to the Console and navigate to Items > Universal Secrets Connector.
