The third method of creating secrets is by using the literal method. To do this, run the following command:
kubectl create secret generic my-api-secret-literal --from-literal=url=https://my-secret-url-location.topsecret.com --from-literal=token='/x~Lhx Az!,;.Vk%[#n+";9p%jGF6['
We can verify that the secret was created by running the following command.
kubectl get secrets
This will give us the following output:
NAME TYPE DATA AGE
...
my-api-secret-literal Opaque 2 45s
myapi-url-token Opaque 2 3h
mysecret Opaque 2 39m
Thus we have created secrets using literal values in addition to the preceding two methods.
