Kubernetes Secrets

Detailed information on the Kubernetes secret cryptography component

Component format

The purpose of this component is to load the Kubernetes secret named after the key name.

Note

This component uses the cryptographic engine in Dapr to perform operations. Although keys are never exposed to your application, Dapr has access to the raw key material.

A Dapr crypto.yaml component file has the following structure:

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: <NAME>
spec:
  type: crypto.dapr.kubernetes.secrets
  version: v1
  metadata:[]

Warning

The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets, as described here.

Spec metadata fields

For the Kubernetes secret store component, there are no metadata attributes.
