# Create a Secret For Container Registry


### Secrets


A Secret is an object that contains a small amount of sensitive data such as a password, a token, or a key. Such information might otherwise be put in a Pod specification or in a container image. Using a Secret means that you don't need to include confidential data in your application code.

#### Create Secrets


```bash
    
kubectl create secret docker-registry name-secrets \
--docker-username=username \
--docker-password=pass1234 \
--docker-server=registry.e2enetworks.net
```



## Create a Pod that Uses your Secret


```bash 
cat > private-reg-pod-example.yaml << EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
    name: node-hello
spec:
    containers:
    - name: node-hello-container
    image: registry.e2enetworks.net/vipin-repo/node-hello@sha256:bd333665069e66b11dbb76444ac114a1e0a65ace459684a5616c0429aa4bf519
    imagePullSecrets:
    - name:  name-secrets
EOF

```
