and I need to replace USERNAME and PASSWORD  :slightly_smiling_face:

I work with Pulumi, and I can manipulate the yaml before getting deployed in order to replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with the right values.

what I do not like of my current implementation is that I am binded to this deployment structure and it is very inflexible

Is there a way to pass something link another yaml to the deployment file which contains the right values and reference those?

```  valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              key: ```

can I put the pulumi config key? :slightly_smiling_face:

Check out <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/guides/crosswalk/kubernetes/app-services/|this> stack

specifically,
```// Create secret from MongoDB connection string.
const mongoConnStrings = new k8s.core.v1.Secret(
    "mongo-secrets",
    {
        metadata: { name: "mongo-secrets", namespace: config.appsNamespaceName},
        data: mongoHelpers.parseConnString(cosmosdb.connectionStrings),
    },
    { provider },
);```

and
```                                name: "WORDPRESS_DATABASE_PASSWORD",
                                valueFrom: {
                                    secretKeyRef: {
                                        name: mariadbSecret.metadata.name,
                                        key: "mariadb-password"
                                    }
                                }```

<@URABGC3T7> This is all clear now thanks

```// Create a Secret with the database credentials.
const databaseSecret = new k8s.core.v1.Secret("db-secret", {
    stringData: {
        "database-username": config.databaseUsername,
        "database-password": config.databasePassword,
    }
}, { provider: provider });```

```const config = new pulumi.Config();
const ksqlDbSecret = new k8s.core.v1.Secret("ksqldb-secret", {
    stringData: {
        'kafka-cluster-username': config.get('kafkaApiKey'),
        'kafaka-cluster-password': config.get('kafkaApiSecret')
    }
}, { provider: clusterProvider });```

```        'kafka-cluster-username': config.requireSecret('kafkaApiKey'),
        'kafaka-cluster-password': config.requireSecret('kafkaApiSecret')```

pulumi asks me to set 'kafka-cluster-username' ...?
