Kubernetes Secrets are a built-in resource type that's used to store sensitive data. This blog teaches you how to work with Secrets in Kubernetes. Kubernetes can do many things, but we usually refer to it as a “container orchestrator.” Orchestrating containers means starting and restarting them when needed, ensuring their configuration matches the declared state, and autoscaling them.
