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

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?

When creating a secret manually, it needs to be manually added to the ServiceAccount. You can use kubectl edit for this.

If you are creating the secret manually you have to manually add the secret to the service account.

You can edit the existing service account using the command kubectl edit sa <name of sa> or else create the YAML and reapply the changes to configure those.

However, if you are creating the ServiceAccount it will auto-generate the secret token.

bash-4.2$ kubectl get sa
NAME      SECRETS   AGE
default   1         11d
bash-4.2$ kubectl create sa test  
serviceaccount/test created
bash-4.2$ kubectl get secret
NAME                  TYPE                                  DATA   AGE
default-token-dvgd8   kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3      11d
test-token-k6dpd      kubernetes.io/service-account-token   3      7s
bash-4.2$ kubectl get sa
NAME      SECRETS   AGE
default   1         11d
test      1         59s
bash-4.2$
