Creating secrets

Recall that both the application and database services rely on secrets that we manually created in our local Docker Desktop context, so you first need to create these secrets in your EKS context:

> kubectl create secret generic todobackend-secret \
  --from-literal=MYSQL_PASSWORD="$(openssl rand -base64 32)" \
  --from-literal=MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD="$(openssl rand -base64 32)" \
  --from-literal=SECRET_KEY="$(openssl rand -base64 50)"
secret "todobackend-secret" created
