Cluster Secrets

default-secret

The type of default-secret is kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson. The data is the credential for logging in to the SWR image repository and is used to pull images from SWR. To pull an image from SWR when creating a workload on CCE Autopilot, set imagePullSecrets to default-secret.

apiVersion: v1                      
kind: Pod                          
metadata:
  name: nginx                      
spec:                            
  containers:
  - image: nginx:alpine            
    name: container-0               
    resources:                      
      limits:
        cpu: 100m
        memory: 200Mi
      requests:
        cpu: 100m
        memory: 200Mi
  imagePullSecrets:
  - name: default-secret

The data of default-secret is updated periodically, and the current data will expire after a certain period of time. You can run the describe command to view the expiration time in of default-secret.

Use default-secret directly instead of copying the secret content to create a new one. The credential in the copied secret will expire and the image cannot be pulled.

paas.elb

The paas.elb data stores a temporary AK/SK that is used when a pod is created or a load balancer is automatically created. The paas.elb data is updated periodically and has a specific time limit before it expires.

In practice, you will not directly use paas.elb. Do not delete it, as doing so will result in the failure of creating a pod or load balancer.
