When configuring a workload, you’ll be able to choose which secrets to include. Like config maps, secrets can be referenced by workloads as either an environment variable or a volume mount.

    Mounted secrets will be updated automatically unless they are mounted as subpath volumes. For details on how updated secrets are propagated, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.

    Creating Secrets

    When creating a secret, you can make it available for any deployment within a project, or you can limit it to a single namespace.

    2. Select a Scope for the secret. You can either make the registry available for the entire project or a single namespace.

    3. Click Save.

    Result: Your secret is added to the project or namespace, depending on the scope you chose. You can view the secret in the Rancher UI from the Resources > Secrets view.

    Mounted secrets will be updated automatically unless they are mounted as subpath volumes. For details on how updated secrets are propagated, refer to the Kubernetes documentation.

    What’s Next?

    Now that you have a secret added to the project or namespace, you can add it to a workload that you deploy.
