Secret Reference Guidelines
1. Base64 Encoding Mandate
Kubernetes manifests require the data field values to be strictly encoded using standard base64 format without internal newline breaks.
2. Security Considerations
Secrets are only obfuscated via base64, not natively encrypted at rest by default. Enable cluster-level encryption providers for enhanced storage security.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
stringData allows you to specify plain, unencoded text strings which Kubernetes automatically encodes to base64 upon creation. data requires explicit base64 strings.
Run
kubectl get secret <name> -o jsonpath="{.data.<key>}" | base64 --decode in your terminal to decode a stored secret value.
Yes, pod specifications can reference secret keys via
valueFrom.secretKeyRef to populate environment variables inside containers.
