External Secrets Inc. ceased to exist

The commercial company behind External Secrets Operator (a CNCF Sandbox project) announced its shutdown. On the bright side, it has released all its proprietary software as Open Source; it is now available on GitHub.

As you might recall, earlier this year recently, the ESO project itself paused releases due to a critical need for maintainers. Luckily, new people were found, and releases were revived, including the prominent v1.0.0, which was just two weeks ago.
