+# Support etcd Snapshot Configuration via Kubernetes Secret
+
+Date: 2024-02-06
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted
+
+## Context
+
+### Current State
+
+K3s currently reads configuration for S3 storage of etcd snapshots from CLI flags and/or configuration files.
+
+Security-conscious users have raised issue with the current state. They want to store snapshots on S3, but do not want
+to have credentials visible in config files or systemd units. Users operating in highly secure environments have also
+asked for the ability to configure a proxy server to be used when creating/restoring snapshots stored on S3, without
+managing complicated `NO_PROXY` settings or affecting the rest of the K3s process environment.
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+Storing credentials on-disk is generally considered a bad idea, and is not allowed by security practices in many
+organizations. Use of static credentials in the config file also makes them difficult to rotate, as K3s only reloads the
+configuration on startup.
+
+### Existing Work
+
+Cloud-providers and other tools that need to auth to external systems frequently can be configured to retrieve secrets
+from an existing credential secret that is provisioned via an external process, such as a secrets management tool. This
+avoids embedding the credentials directly in the system configuration, chart values, and so on.
+
+## Decision
+
+* We will add support for reading etcd snapshot S3 configuration from a Secret named `k3s-etcd-snapshot-s3` in the
+  `kube-system` namespace.
+* The secret will ONLY be used for on-demand and scheduled snapshot operations.
+* The Secret will provide default values; if S3 configuration is passed via CLI flags or configuration file, ALL fields
+* set by the Secret will be ignored. Secret and CLI/config values will NOT be merged.
+* Snapshot restore operations that want to retrieve a snapshot from S3 will need to pass the appropriate configuration
+  via environment variables or CLI flags, as the Secret is not available during the restore process.
+* We will add a `--etcd-s3-proxy` flag that can be used to set the proxy used by the S3 client. This will override the
+  settings that golang's default HTTP client reads from the `HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY/NO_PROXY` environment varibles.
+
+Fields within the Secret will match CLI flags / config file keys, with the `etcd-s3` prefix dropped, and converted to
+camel case, as is common for JSON or YAML storage of data structures.
+
+For the Endpoint Certificate Authority field, where the CLI flag points at a file on disk, the `endpointCA` field can
+specify an inline PEM-encoded CA bundle, or the `endpointCAName` can specify the name of a ConfigMap in the same
+namespace containing one or more CA bundles.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Secret
+metadata:
+  name: k3s-etcd-snapshot-s3
+  namespace: kube-system
+stringData:
+  endpoint: ""
+  endpointCA: ""
+  endpointCAName: ""
+  skipSSLVerify: false
+  accessKey: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+  secretKey: AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+  bucket: bucket
+  region: us-east-1
+  insecure: false
+  timeout: 5m
+  proxy: ""
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+This will require additional documentation, tests, and QA work to validate use of secrets for s3 snapshot configuration.
