Summary

In this chapter, we had a deeper dive into Kubernetes Secrets. We learned about the different types of Kubernetes Secrets and for which occasions they are used, and we went through executing code snippets highlighting those use cases. Also, since Secrets contain sensitive information, we went further into securing access to those Secrets by applying RBAC rules. This helped us to limit access to Secrets but also provide authorized access to our Pods. Another aspect that we covered is auditing. Auditing is a very important aspect since we want to have full control over access to Secrets as well as other operations. In the next chapter, we will focus on encrypting Secrets in transit and at rest.
