1. Create a yaml file with the username and password with the syntax shown below:

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: ocnssf-db-creds
   type: Opaque
   data:
     mysql-username: bnNzZnVzcg==
     mysql-password: bnNzZnBhc3N3ZA==
     mysql-db-name: bnNzZmRi

   Note:

   The values for mysql-username and mysql-password must be base64 encoded.
2. Execute the following command to create the kubernetes secret:

   kubectl create -f yaml_file_name -n namespace

   where:

   yaml_file_name is a name of the yaml file that is created in step 1.

   namespace is the deployment namespace used by the helm command.

3. Execute the following command to verify the secret creation:

   $ kubectl describe secret <database secret name> -n <Namespace of MYSQL secret>

   Example:$ kubectl describe secret ocnssf-db-creds -n ocnssf
