How to quickly read K8S Secret Value |
feed |
18-01-2022 |
To get the value of a [[K8S Secret]], all you need to know is the secret name and the name of the key that you want to read.
What I would normally do before is:
kubectl get secret mysecret -o yaml- copy the (often very long) base64 string under the key i wish to read
echo "million_character_base64_string_here" | base64 -d
While this works, there is an easier way:
{% raw %}
kubectl get secret $SECRET_NAME -o 'go-template={{ index .data "$KEY_NAME" }}' | base64 -d
{% endraw %}
Neat - now it's a one-liner and i don't have to copy anything!
