What default level of protection is applied to the data in Secrets in the Kubernetes API?
Show answer
Answer: D
Explanation
Kubernetes Secrets store sensitive information such as passwords, OAuth tokens, and SSH keys. The data stored in Secrets is base64 encoded by default. However, it's important to note that base64 encoding is not encryption—it's a reversible encoding scheme. While base64 encoding provides a basic level of obfuscation, it does not provide strong security against unauthorized access.
