Purpose of ClusterSecret

What is the purpose of ClusterSecret in Kubernetes, and how does it simplify managing secrets across multiple namespaces?

Hi!
Please take a look at the docs. It's all there:

In Kubernetes secrets are namespaced (they belong to a specific namespace), and there is no way to share them across namespaces.
Clustersecret It's an automated way of provisioning secrets into namespaces.

ClusterSecret operator makes sure all the matching namespaces have the secret available and up to date.

• New namespaces, if they match the pattern, will also have the secret.
• Any change in the ClusterSecret will update all related secrets. Including changing the match pattern.
• Deleting the ClusterSecret deletes "child" secrets (all cloned secrets) too.
