External Secrets Operator

Go to your VK Cloud management console.

Select the project where the required cluster is located.

Go to Kubernetes Clusters → Kubernetes Clusters.

Find the cluster you need in the list.

Make sure that the cluster has a dedicated group of worker nodes that will host add-ons.

If there is no such group — add it.

Customise for this node group, if it hasn't already been done:

• Kubernetes labels: key addonNodes, value dedicated.
• Node taints: effect NoSchedule, key addonNodes, value dedicated.

Go to your VK Cloud management console.

Select the project where the required cluster is located.

Go to Kubernetes Clusters → Kubernetes Clusters.

Click the name of the required cluster.

Go to the Addons tab.

Click the Install button on the external-secrets-operator add-on card, then click Install addon.

(Optional) Edit:

• the selected version
• the application name
• the name of the namespace where the add-on will be installed
• the add-on settings code

Set the necessary tolerations and nodeSelector in the add-on settings code:

 
tolerations:  - key: "addonNodes"    operator: "Equal"    value: "dedicated"    effect: "NoSchedule"

 
nodeSelector:  addonNodes: dedicated

Click the Install addon button.

The installation of the add-on in the cluster will begin. This process can take a long time.
