 ### Ingresses
 To split between external and internal services, two traefik ingresses are implemented through the `ingressclass` annotation.
 `traefik-external` will only allow external access to a given service, while `traefik-internal` restrict to an internal only access.

+### Secret management
+All secrets are encrypted using SOPS and stored in a private secret repository.
+Secrets are decrypted on the fly when applied to the kluster using the SOPS Operator.

+Inject the AGE key in the cluster to allow the operator to decrypt secrets :
+```
+kubectl create secret generic age-key --from-file=<path_to_file> -n sops
