Okteto secrets

Application configuration should be passed at deployment time, not hardcoded in your code.

Okteto Secrets allows you to save application configuration in Okteto, and automatically inject it during deployment time.

Manage Okteto Secrets from the Okteto dashboard

You can create and delete your Okteto Secrets from the Secrets section in the Settings view of the Okteto dashboard:

To create a new secret, click on the Add Secret button, and provide a name and a value. The value will be masked once the secret is created.

To delete an existing secret, click on the Delete button on the right. You'll have to confirm your choice before the secret is deleted. Deleted secrets can't be recovered, so be careful when doing this.

Accessing Okteto Secrets from your Okteto Pipeline

Okteto Secrets are automatically injected in your Okteto CLI commands as environment variables.
