API7 Gateway 3.2.16.0

Release Date: 2024-09-30

Features

Reference Secrets in HashiCorp Vault

This is a breaking change. The secrets resource has been renamed to secret provider to align with best practices and facilitate integration with external secret management tools. All associated APIs have been updated accordingly.

A secret object is a piece of sensitive information that needs to be protected from unauthorized access, while a secret provider object is used to set up integration with an external secret manager(HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secret Manager, etc.), so that API7 Gateway can establish connections and fetch secrets from the secret manager dynamically at runtime.

See Reference Secrets in HashiCorp Vault for more details.
