Targets

Targets are external systems that can receive and be updated with secrets managed by External Secrets Operator. This allows you to securely push secrets to various destinations, such as a Virtual Machine.

How it Works

The PushSecret resource is used to define how secrets are pushed to a target. It specifies the source of the secret, the target destination, and the update policy.

A PushSecret can be used to push secrets to any provider that is configured as a SecretStore.
