Secret Management in Kubernetes
Understanding Secrets in Kubernetes
Kubernetes secrets store sensitive information like passwords, tokens, and certificates in base64-encoded format. Three main types exist: docker-registry for container registry authentication, generic for key-value pairs, and TLS for certificates. Secrets can be consumed by pods as mounted files or environment variables, with data stored in RAM rather than disk for security. The guide covers creation commands, usage patterns, and practical examples for each secret type.
