hi I'm not sure what channel is right for this question, so please let me know if I should delete it.

I'd love to hear how to handle secrets when deploying servers at a cloud provider that doesn't provide any IAM or secrets management services like I'm used to from AWS. I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible as I'm solely responsible for managing 10s of servers. At the moment I deploy servers using cloud-init and follow an immutable approach, so any changes means redeploying/reinstalling the server after I make changes to the cloud-init config. This works great, but I need a better way to handle secrets than current manual approach.

On AWS I'd use an instance's role to grant it permissions to write/read secrets in parameter store or secrets manager. I'm lost as to how to approach the lack of these two fundamental services. I know hashicorp vault is popular but 1) I don't want to deploy and manage vault 2) it seems overkill for my needs.

I've looked at mozilla sops but every blog post talks about using it with kubernetes or on the big cloud providers and using their kms services. I'm unsure how this would work for my use-case.

To provide some more background, I have two types of needs when it comes to servers:
1. First launch of a new server, secrets are generated on the server. I need to store these secrets centrally in case the server is destroyed.
2. If the server is re-deployed it should check if there's already a secret available before generating a new one.
I know secrets management is a complicated topic, but if anyone has any experience or ideas for how to solve this when a cloud provider doesn't offer it as a service I'd love to chat. Again I'm looking to KISS :)
