Kafka Integration with Vault for secret

[stuartm21]

Hi Team,
We are looking to integrate the kafka secret with Vault. While searching we found the two following docs, but we noticed that both are 2 and 4 years old. So any latest docs or solutions for integrating our kafka-users secrets with vault setup?

1. Kafka Integration with Vault for secret/TLS management #3719
2. https://strimzi.io/blog/2018/11/16/using-vault-with-strimzi/

There is currently no special support for Vault as part of Strimzi.

@scholzj That means the provided URL's will not support Strizmzi kafka right? We are using cluster operator 0.28 and 3.1.0 Kafka.

Sorry, I have no idea what kind of provided URL's mean here.

@scholzj These two:

Well, if you read the blog post, it does not mention any direct integration with Strimzi, any special APis or anything like that -> the integration happens through Kubernetes Secrets. In such way you can integrate with many things. So while the blog post is old and many details might have changed the idea might still work.
