Understanding Kubernetes: part 3 – Secrets

Understanding Kubernetes can be difficult or time-consuming. In order to spread knowledges about Cloud technologies I started to create sketchnotes about Kubernetes. I think it could be a good way, more visual, to explain Kubernetes (and others technologies).

We continue the serie of Sketchnotes about Kubernetes, with Secrets.

If you are interested, I published an entire illustrated book about Kubernetes, available in paperback on Amazon and in digital version on GumRoad: "Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way".

As usual, if you like theses sketchnotes, you can follow me, and tell me what do you think. I will publish others sketchs shortly :-).

Your sketchnotes are awesome Aurélie !

I would add this command to edit secrets : kubectl edit secrets optionnal-pod-name unless you say it's bad practice ?

Thank you for your articles :)

First of all thanks 😘😘
Kubectl edit is a general command that allow you to edit, in live, directly in the cluster, any resources type you want, not exclusively for a secret.
Useful in order to test a confimap and then save and push changes in your code repository.
