How to copy K8S secret from one namespace to another	feed	05-12-2023

[[K8S Secret]]s can't be accessed across different environments. If you want to use an existing secret in another environment, you'll have to copy it there. To copy a secret from one namespace to another, you can use this simple script:

{% raw %}

SECRET_NAME=$1
SOURCE_NS=$2
DESTINATION_NS=$3

kubectl get secret $SECRET_NAME --namespace=$SOURCE_NS -o yaml | sed "s/namespace: .*/namespace: $DESTINATION_NS/" | kubectl -n $DESTINATION_NS apply -f -

{% endraw %}
