Secrets

Argo supports the same secrets syntax and mechanisms as Kubernetes Pod specs, which allows access to secrets as environment variables or volume mounts. See the Kubernetes documentation for more information.

# To run this example, first create the secret by running:
# kubectl create secret generic my-secret --from-literal=mypassword=S00perS3cretPa55word
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: secret-example-
spec:
  entrypoint: whalesay
  # To access secrets as files, add a volume entry in spec.volumes[] and
  # then in the container template spec, add a mount using volumeMounts.
  volumes:
  - name: my-secret-vol
    secret:
      secretName: my-secret     # name of an existing k8s secret
  templates:
  - name: whalesay
    container:
      image: alpine:3.7
      command: [sh, -c]
      args: ['
        echo "secret from env: $MYSECRETPASSWORD";
        echo "secret from file: `cat /secret/mountpath/mypassword`"
      ']
      # To access secrets as environment variables, use the k8s valueFrom and
      # secretKeyRef constructs.
      env:
      - name: MYSECRETPASSWORD  # name of env var
        valueFrom:
          secretKeyRef:
            name: my-secret     # name of an existing k8s secret
            key: mypassword     # 'key' subcomponent of the secret
      volumeMounts:
      - name: my-secret-vol     # mount file containing secret at /secret/mountpath
        mountPath: "/secret/mountpath"
