Question

A background worker needs an API token stored as an Opaque Secret named worker-token in namespace billing. Which command creates it from a literal value?

Accepted Answer

kubectl create secret generic worker-token --from-literal=token=s3cret -n billing — Opaque Secrets are labeled envelopes for app credentials—generic is the everyday type. kubectl create secret generic with --from-literal drops the token into billing without pretending it's a registry login. ConfigMaps aren't for secret tokens.

Answer

kubectl create configmap worker-token --from-literal=token=s3cret -n billing

Answer

kubectl apply -f worker-token --type=ServiceAccount -n billing

Answer

kubectl create docker-registry worker-token --docker-server=api -n billing
