    STACKIT Secrets Manager - JSON editor for Secrets

    As of now, STACKIT Secrets Manager supports editing secrets with a JSON editor directly within your Service Dashboard. For secrets containing simple key-value pairs as a string, you can still switch back to the familiar key-value pair mode.

    Manage secrets through the STACKIT Portal and IP address change

    We are happy to announce the integration of the secrets management directly into the STACKIT portal. In addition to an updated user interface, we also provision newly created instances to a new backend.

    Therefore we will also change the Secrets Manager Endpoint prod.sm.eu01.stackit.cloud to a new IP-Address. If you have explicitly defined outbound firewall rules to manage your secrets, you must update them in advance and allow the new IP address:

    Old IP Adress: 193.148.175.212

    New IP Adress: 45.129.42.99

    For more information, see our Secrets Manager to get started. If there are any questions, support is available via the Help Center.
