Accessing SecretManager from the Anthos azure private cluster

[pcperera]

We have a GCP project where we have the Google SecretManager. We have a public management cluster and we also have an Azure private cluster deployed through Anthos in that GCP project. Both clusters belong to the same fleet.

We use workload identity federation to fetch secrets from the Google SecretManager to the public management cluster using ExternalSecretsOperator. Can we use the same workload identity federation to fetch secrets to the Anthos cluster too without having to create default credentials for each and every namespace?

If you are using Anthos on Azure then you have to use Azure provided services. thus you can try Azure Key Vault.
