Bug Description
Today a single Fernet key is generated for a deployment. Since the encrypted information is publicly accessible, the keys need to be rotated once in a while. Containers are considered immutable and we cannot rotate the keys the way we would do it in a usual unix environment. Some other way to rotate the keys needs to be implemented.
For example, kubernetes secrets are intended to hold sensitive information and could be used for that.
