Best Secrets Management Software for Ansible

Upgrade security throughout the stack with a unified secrets management platform that every engineer can use – from admin to intern. Putting passwords and API keys in source code creates a security risk. But handling them properly creates complexity that makes it extremely cumbersome to deploy. Git, Slack, and email are designed to share information, not to keep secrets. Copy-pasting values and waiting on that one admin who holds all the keys simply don't scale when you're deploying software multiple times a week. It's impossible to track who accessed what secrets at what time, making compliance audits a nightmare. Eliminate secrets in source code by replacing plaintext values with a reference to the secret. SecretHub then automatically loads secrets into your app the moment it starts. Use the CLI to encrypt and store secrets and then simply tell the code where to look for the secret. Your code is now free of secrets and can be shared with everyone on your team.

Akeyless is a cloud-native SaaS platform that secures the entire lifecycle of machine identities, credentials, certificates, and keys, eliminating complex and burdensome vault management, resulting in up to a 70% reduction in costs. The platform uses Distributed Fragments Cryptology (DFC™) to ensure zero knowledge—secrets are created as distributed fragments in the cloud and never found in one place. Akeyless is fast to deploy, requires no maintenance, is built for automation, and offers infinite scaling capabilities regardless of the number of environments, regions, or clouds, leading to a 270% higher adoption rate compared to vaults. Akeyless also strengthens AI pipelines from end to end by centralizing authentication, secrets management, certificate automation, and policy enforcement so AI agents can work securely and efficiently without relying on embedded credentials.
