Bharath A G:
You had to pass the secret value as base64

Bharath A G:
echo -n “mysql”|base64

Vasu BK:
Thank you Bharth for response. In theory session, examples mentioned with plain text as input for both data: option and external file option.
–from-literal option also we are using plain text format. So, would you please elaborate on that

Hello, @Vasu BK
When you create secret from command line, we don’t need to encode in base64. kubectl command line tool take care of it. From declarative way, we have to encode first.
