ABSTRACT
This paper presents a comprehensive approach to securing sensitive data in containerized
environments using the principle of immutable secrets management, grounded in a Zero-Trust
security model. We detail the inherent risks of traditional secrets management, demonstrate how
immutability and Zero-Trust principles mitigate these risks, and provide a practical, step-by-step
guide to implementation. A real-world case study using AWS services and common DevOps tools
illustrates the tangible benefits of this approach. The focus is on achieving continuous delivery,
security, and resilience through a novel concept we term "ChaosSecOps."
