-## Manage Honeycomb API keys
-
-As of August 2022, Metal services share a global Honeycomb key for each environment.
-Metal service teams no longer need to worry about managing Honeycomb keys for their services.
-The Applied Resilience Engineering team manages the Honeycomb API keys.
-Reach out in the `#sre` channel in Slack if you have questions.
-
-### Rotate a Honeycomb key
-
-(Note: this step requires that you [set up your local Kubernetes config according to the Delivery Docs](https://delivery-docs.metalkube.net/training_and_guides/kubectl/#import-kube-configs).)
-
-The API key name in Honeycomb should use the format `metal-{appname}`.
-
-You will need to create a yaml manifest file to update the ExternalSecretPush.
-(For more information about using Keymaker, see [these instructions on the delivery docs site](https://delivery-docs.metalkube.net/core_services/keymaker/?h=keymaker#add-secret-to-secret-store).)
-
-This file must NOT be committed to git so you can just create it in your home directory, for example:
-
-```shell
-vim ~/honeycomb-secret-push.yaml
-```
-
-Paste the following contents, being sure to use the correct value for the new Honeycomb API key:
-
-```diff
-    apiVersion: keymaker.equinixmetal.com/v1
-    kind: ExternalSecretPush
-    metadata:
-      name: honeycomb-key
-      annotations:
-          clusterlevelsecret: "true"
-    spec:
-      backend: ssm
-      environment: prod
-      secrets:
-        - key:   honeycomb-key
--         value: OLD_KEY
--         version: v1
-+         value: NEW_KEY
-+         version: v2
-```
-
-(Note that the above diff is for demonstration purposes only, since none of these files should be committed to version control.)
-
-#### Perform the ExternalSecretPush
-
-Save the file and run `kubectl apply` to tell Kubernetes to perform the ExternalSecretPush to create/update the key:
-
-```shell
-kubectl apply -f ~/honeycomb-secret-push.yaml
-```
-
-You can then use `kubectl get events` to confirm that it was saved successfully.
-Here's the full output:
-
-```shell
-% kubectl apply -f honeycomb-key.yaml
-
-externalsecretpush.keymaker.equinixmetal.com/honeycomb-key created
-% kubectl get events
-LAST SEEN   TYPE      REASON           OBJECT                             MESSAGE
-80s         Normal    Backend          externalsecretpush/honeycomb-key   backend loaded: ssm
-81s         Normal    Secret           externalsecretpush/honeycomb-key   secret saved to ssm: /prod/honeycomb-key/v1
-```
-
-When the secret is successfully added, delete the manifest:
-
-```shell
-rm ~/honeycomb-secret-push.yaml
-```
-
-The final key path will look like `/prod/honeycomb-secret/v2` (or whatever version you've updated it to).
-This will automatically get picked up by the ExternalSecretPull generated by the template in this chart.
+## Honeycomb API keys
 
-If you run into issues trying to push a secret, reach out to SRE (#sre) or the Delivery team (`#em-delivery-eng`) for help.
+The ExternalSecretPull file references the global Honeycomb API key that's already available in production clusters.
