Allow external resources secret key customization #1555

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The ability to define the keys in the secret for external db and cache instances.

A lot of operators for services like PostgreSQL, example CloudNativePG https://cloudnative-pg.io/documentation/1.27/applications/#secrets, automatically generate secrets that contain all the needed information for Pulp to connect to the DB but with different keys than what the Pulp Operator expects.

Example CNPG secret

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: app-db-app
  namespace: app
type: kubernetes.io/basic-auth
data:
  dbname: app
  host: app-db-rw
  jdbc-uri: jdbc:postgresql://app-db-rw.app:5432/app?password=password&user=app
  password: password
  pgpass: |
    app-db-rw:5432:app:app:password
  port: "5432"
  uri: postgresql://app:password@app-db-rw.app:5432/app
  user: app
  username: app

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to set the key names for the values.

Example:

spec
  database:
    external_db_secret: my-db
    keys:
      host: host
      name: dbname
      port: port
      username: username
      password: password

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Use External-Secrets to sync a secret from an external source to both formats. This requires using an external source which is another attack point that requires securing which if it's a service entirely based in the cluster is unnecessary.
  • Use External-Secrets to watch the generated secret and create a new secret.
  • Manually copying the secret. Not conducive to automation, doesn't scale

All the methods require maintaining multiple secrets and ensuring they remain in sync.
