Kubernetes is powerful, but managing secrets like API keys and credentials can quickly get messy. If you’re still embedding secrets in your YAML files—stop! 😅
✅ Better ways to manage secrets in Kubernetes:
Use Kubernetes Secrets API with kubectl create secret.
Integrate external vaults like HashiCorp Vault or SealedSecrets for encryption.
Rotate secrets automatically with tools like External Secrets Operator.
Here’s a quick example of creating a basic secret:
bash
Copy
Edit
kubectl create secret generic my-api-key \
--from-literal=apikey=1234567890
Now you can mount or inject it into pods without exposing it in plain text.
