How to create a secret for service account using Kubernetes version 1.24

Question

I am using Kubernetes version 1.24, I have created a secret for my service account manually, but when I run kubectl get serviceaccounts, it is showing that I do not have any secrets for that service account?

Answer 1

If you are on K8s version 1.24

The serviceaccount won't create the secret automatically.

You have to create it manually.

kubectl create sa <serviceaccount-name>

Example :

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
metadata:
  name: token-secret
  annotations:
    kubernetes.io/service-account.name: "<SA name>"

If you just want to create the token you can use the : kubectl create token <Name>
