Unlocking Secrets Management: Introducing OpenBao Managed Services on Azure and AWS

In the modern enterprise landscape, managing machine-to-machine secrets, certificates, and sensitive credentials is a cornerstone of a resilient security posture. As organizations scale, the complexity and cost of maintaining these systems can become a significant burden.

That is why Adfinis is thrilled to introduce the OpenBao Tailored Managed Service, a fully managed and integrated, enterprise-grade secrets management solution that delivers data sovereignty, cost predictability, and operational excellence without the additional costs associated with proprietary alternatives. Typically referred to as the “Success Tax”, where charging per “identity” or “client” forces teams into “Architecture by License” workarounds, resulting in infrastructure designed to fit a contract rather than their actual security requirements.

Complemented by our Secretz Enterprise subscription, which provides the necessary vendor backing and software assurance for OpenBao™ in order to directly contribute your needs and improvements to the OpenBao project.

Whether your infrastructure resides in the cloud or follows a hybrid model, our tailored managed service is built to support you wherever you are in the journey. We offer dedicated, fully managed environments on both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

  • AWS Managed OpenBao: Leveraging services like Amazon EKS for orchestration and AWS KMS for secure auto-unsealing, we provide a robust, multi-AZ architecture tailored for high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Azure Managed OpenBao: Utilizing Azure AKS and Azure Key Vault, we ensure your secrets management is deeply integrated into your Azure ecosystem while maintaining the flexibility of the OpenBao platform.

Dedicated Environments for Maximum Security

Security has never been one-size-fits-all, which is why Adfinis doesn’t treat it that way. We deploy dedicated, single-tenant environments for every customer. We do not believe in "black box" multi-tenancy for your most sensitive data. By providing isolated clusters for production and non-production workloads, we eliminate blast radius concerns and ensure your compliance and regulatory demand are already strictly enforced at the infrastructure level.

Standardized Best Practices, Custom-Tailored Results

We have developed a gold-standard architecture based on over a decade of secrets management expertise migrating major financial and service institutions, utilities, and government organizations to OpenBao, but we also understand that every organization faces unique requirements.

Our offering is built on a foundation of flexibility, so you can choose what you need:

  • Standard Offerings: Quickly get up and running with our proven blueprints for GitOps-driven deployment, automated monitoring, and 24/7 enterprise support.
  • Flexible Customization: Need deep integration with on-premises HSMs, specific regulatory compliance adjustments (such as FINMA requirements), or custom authentication methods? Our team can customize every aspect of the deployment to align with your specific Target Operating Model (TOM).
