Config and storage

The sidebar’s Configuration and Storage sections hold five lists: Volumes and storage classes aren’t in a namespace, so their lists always show all of them. (⌘ is Ctrl on Windows and Linux.)

​

ConfigMaps

Open a ConfigMap and its Data section shows each key with its value, as text. Binary values (binaryData) are counted in the Keys column, and are in the YAML.

​

Secrets

Secret values stay hidden until you ask for them.

• The list shows each secret’s type and how many keys it has. KubeStacks drops the values before the list reaches the page.
• Data shows each key with its size, and its value as ••••••••. Reveal one key with its eye button, or all of them with Reveal all. Values are decoded from base64 for you.
• Copy next to a key copies its value without revealing it, for pasting somewhere safe.
• YAML hides values too, until you choose Reveal values. The kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration annotation holds a copy of the values, so it’s hidden as well: Hidden: it holds the secret’s values.

​

Editing a secret

When you edit a Secret’s YAML, its text values appear decoded, under stringData, so you can read and change them as text. Values that aren’t text stay base64-encoded under data. On save, everything is encoded back into data. See Edit YAML.

​

Volume claims

A claim is Bound when it has a volume, and shows its phase otherwise, like Pending. Open one for its capacity and the size it asked for, its access and volume modes, and links to its storage class and volume. Expand volume… grows a bound claim. Pick the new size in Mi, Gi or Ti. It starts at twice the current size, and must be larger than it is now. If the claim’s storage class doesn’t allow expansion, KubeStacks says so instead of trying. See Actions by kind.

​

Volumes

A volume is Bound or Available when all is well, and shows its phase otherwise, like Released. Open one for its capacity, access modes, reclaim policy, storage class, and a link to the claim that holds it.

​

Storage classes

Open a storage class for whether it’s the Default, its provisioner, reclaim policy and binding mode, whether Volume expansion is allowed, and its parameters.
