How do you create a secret named mysecret with password=secretpassword?

• A. oc edit secret mysecret
• B. oc delete secret mysecret
• C. oc create secret mysecret --from-literal password=secretpassword
• D. oc describe secret mysecret

Answer: (C)

Creating a secret from literal data is the action being tested. To store a password in a Secret, you pass the key-value pair via --from-literal. The command shown creates a Secret named mysecret and stores a data entry with the key 'password' and value 'secretpassword' inside it. This is the correct way to construct a Secret from inline data in one step. The other commands are for different purposes: editing a secret (modifying its content), deleting it, or describing it (displaying its details) — none of which creates the secret. Note: you could also specify the type explicitly with generic, e.g., oc create secret generic mysecret --from-literal password=secretpassword, which is functionally equivalent.
