Authors

SOPS was initially launched as a project at Mozilla in 2015 and has been graciously donated to the CNCF as a Sandbox project in 2023, now under the stewardship of a new group of maintainers <https://github.com/getsops/community/blob/main/MAINTAINERS.md>_.

The original authors of the project were:

  • Adrian Utrilla @autrilla
  • Julien Vehent @jvehent

Furthermore, the project has been carried for a long time by AJ Bahnken @ajvb, and had not been possible without the contributions of numerous contributors <https://github.com/getsops/sops/graphs/contributors>_.

Credits

SOPS was inspired by hiera-eyaml <https://github.com/TomPoulton/hiera-eyaml>, credstash <https://github.com/LuminalOSS/credstash>, sneaker <https://github.com/codahale/sneaker>, password store <http://www.passwordstore.org/> and too many years managing PGP encrypted files by hand...
