Dear Jörn Franke, Jayabindu Singh and Spark Community members,
Thank you profoundly for your initial insights. I feel it's necessary to
provide more precision on our setup to facilitate a deeper understanding.
We're interfacing with S3 Compatible storages, but our operational context
is somewhat distinct. Our infrastructure doesn't lean on conventional cloud
providers like AWS. Instead, we've architected our environment on
On-Premise Kubernetes distributions, specifically k0s and Openshift.
Our objective extends beyond just handling S3 keys. We're orchestrating a
solution that integrates Azure SPNs, API Credentials, and other sensitive
credentials, intending to make Kubernetes' native secrets our central
management hub. The aspiration is to have a universally deployable JAR, one
that can function unmodified across different ecosystems like EMR,
Databricks (on both AWS and Azure), etc. Platforms like Databricks have
already made strides in this direction, allowing secrets to be woven
directly into the Spark Conf through mechanisms like
{{secret_scope/secret_name}}, which are resolved dynamically.
The spark-on-k8s-operator's user guide suggests the feasibility of mounting
secrets. However, a gap exists in our understanding of how to subsequently
access these mounted secret values within the Spark application's context.
Here lies my inquiry: is the spark-on-k8s-operator currently equipped to
support this level of integration? If it does, any elucidation on the
method or best practices would be pivotal for our project. Alternatively,
if you could point me to resources or community experts who have tackled
similar challenges, it would be of immense assistance.
Thank you for bearing with the intricacies of our query, and I appreciate
your continued guidance in this endeavor.
Warm regards,
Jon Rodríguez Aranguren.
