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.
