[openstack-dev] [oslo][oslo.config] Pluggable drivers and protect plaintext secrets

Hi all,

We had a couple of discussions with the Oslo team related to implement
Pluggable drivers for oslo.config[0] and use those feature to implement
support to protect plaintext secret on configuration files[1].

In another hand, due the containerized support on OpenStack services, we
have a community effort to implement a k8s ConfigMap support[2][3], which
might make us step back and consider how secret management will work, since
the config data will need to go into the configmap *before* the container
is launched.

So, I would like to see what the community think. Should we continue
working on that pluggable drivers and protect plain text secrets support
for oslo.config? Makes sense having a PTG session[4] on Oslo to discuss
that feature?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.

Cheers,
