This will be quick and to the point.
previously when we wanted to create an Opaque secret manually we would have to encode and decode the data like so:
apiVersion: v1kind: Secretmetadata: name: log-level namespace: namespacetype: Opaquedata: LOG_LEVEL: ZXJyb3IK# must encode values# encode# echo "error" | base64# ZXJyb3IK# # decode# echo "ZXJyb3IK==" | base64 -d# error
Which wasn’t the end of the world, however added extra steps. In February 2022, the api was updated and the values no longer needed to be encoded/decoded. This is because of the key stringData
and can be used like so:
apiVersion: v1kind: Secretmetadata: name: log-level namespace: exampletype: OpaquestringData: LOG_LEVEL: "error"
Then to apply
kubectl apply -f log-level-secret.yaml
Recently went through the pain of getting a bunch of errors, most notably
“ Error while reading line from the server.”
when trying to connect to a new ElasticCache cluster in AWS that is multi-az and has encryption/encryption at rest enabled.
By default Laravel doesn’t set the cluster configs and the default scheme is tcp, which obviously can’t be used on a cluster that requires TLS :(
To keep it to the point…
Set the cluster configuration and change the scheme to tls and also remove the default 60 second time out, by setting read_write_timeout to -1.
Redis configuration in config/database.php will look like the following..
