It would be useful to provide a kubectl command to fetch age keys from the cluster.

I find it irrelevant to the future description. The required capacity is rather part of the installation prerequisites. We will lower down the required resource once we introduce GtiOps optional feature.

| ## Disaster recovery with BYO Git | ||
|
|
||
| When using an external Git repository, disaster recovery is significantly simplified. Since the platform configuration is already stored in your external Git provider, there is no need to back up or restore Gitea. To restore the platform, you can re-use the same `values.yaml` from the initial installation. The only addition required is the age keys used for SOPS encryption. |

The benefits have been already mentioned in the ## Advantages of BYO Git section.
