Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

The Vault Secrets Operator (VSO) enhances secrets management in Kubernetes. The HashiCorp Vault documentation lists its benefits: 'The following features are supported by the Vault Secrets Operator:

Support for syncing from multiple secret sources.

Automatic secret drift and remediation.

Automatic secret rotation for Deployment, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet Kubernetes resource types.'

The docs explain: 'VSO watches for changes to its supported Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and synchronizes secrets from Vault to Kubernetes Secrets, ensuring consistency (A). It detects and corrects unauthorized changes (C) and rotates secrets for specified resource types (D).' Bi-directional sync (B) is not supported---sync is one-way from Vault to Kubernetes. Thus, A, C, and D are correct.

I think bi-directional sync is definitely a feature, but I can't recall if it applies to all secret types.

I remember that the VSO can sync secrets, but I'm not sure if it supports multiple sources or just one.
