Hello everyone, I have a beginner’s question on

core.v1.Secret

Python package. I have checked the documentation here and was wondering whether the

resource_name

is the acutal secret name in K8 or just some name used by Pulumi to reference this secret? Getting a non-unique error from Pulumi, despite the name being unique within a namespace in K8.

Yes

resource_name

is a logical name used by Pulumi to identify the resource. By default we'll add a psudo-random suffix to that and pass that random name as

args.metadata.name

to kubernetes, but if that's clashing (and it's more possible to at the moment due to some investigation into deterministic names that were in the process of rolling back) then you can also just set

args.metadata.name

yourself.

Thanks, so just to make sure i understand,

arg.metadata.name

is the name K8 will use, whereas

resource_name

is Pulumi specific?

Yes

tyvm, much appreciated 😊
