How can I manage Kubernetes secrets with Helm?

You can manage Kubernetes secrets with Helm by creating a Helm chart that includes a template for your secrets.

Can you show me an example of a Helm template for a secret?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-secret
type: Opaque
data:
  username: {{ .Values.username | b64enc }}
  password: {{ .Values.password | b64enc }}

You would define username and password in your values.yaml file.

How do I install the chart with the secret?

You can install the chart using the command: helm install my-release ./my-chart --set username=myuser --set password=mypassword.

What if I want to update the secret later?

You can update the secret by modifying the values in your values.yaml file and running helm upgrade my-release ./my-chart.
