Question

When I run the below command,

Use Secret instead of secret in the kind field.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: mongodb-secret
type: opaque
data:
  mongo-root-username: dXNlcm5hbWU=
  mongo-root-password: cGFzc3dvcmQ=

Thanks @Emruz also found out I needed to pass --validate=false to create secret – Idehen Scofield Jul 03 '21 at 08:18
`--validate=false` is not a solution. This will let you create invalid resources which may cause issue in the cluster. Instead you should fix the actual reason. – Emruz Hossain Jul 03 '21 at 11:10
