[chef] Re: Database Secrets

[AJ Christensen < >]

this is a Hard Problem.

good article by Noah here: https://coderanger.net/chef-secrets/

I like the look of https://github.com/oleiade/trousseau but haven't
really built out integration with Chef.

Storing secrets in Consul or etcd is high on my to-evaluate list as well!

cheers,

aj
