Berglas is a command-line tool and Go library for managing secrets on Google Cloud in a way that reduces the manual work typically involved in secret handling. It is built to store and retrieve secrets securely by encrypting them with Cloud KMS and storing them in Cloud Storage, while also providing an interoperable layer for Secret Manager. The project serves two related purposes: as a CLI, it automates secret encryption, decryption, and storage workflows, and as a library, it helps inject secrets into supported Google Cloud runtimes. This makes it useful for teams that want a more programmable and cloud-native approach to secret distribution without hardcoding sensitive values into applications or deployment pipelines. Because it is written in Go and distributed in multiple ways, including binaries, Docker, Homebrew, and source installation, it fits a variety of developer environments and operational setups.

Features

  • Command-line secret encryption and decryption
  • Cloud KMS integration for key-backed protection
  • Cloud Storage-based secret persistence
  • Interoperability with Secret Manager
