you can either use your standard base 64 encoding package from your language, or you can pass it as `stringData` to the secret object and Kubernetes will base64 encode it for you:

thanks I can create the secret the challange I have is the output of the tls module is a PEM string and I need base64 encoded for the data argument here (I am using python)

right, but if you pass the PEM string to the secret with `stringData` it'll base64 encode it

can you share the code you have? I can show you how it'll work
