6.6: Locate the Security Token

nbon

Hi, what is meant by Line 13: "Locate the token of the securityaccount"?
How can I find this security token?

Hi @nbon,

First, ask yourself what type of data does a token represent, and then, where/how would you store that type of data?

@chrispokorni The security token is no longer created automatically: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.24.md#urgent-upgrade-notes

In light of this, how would you suggest students to complete this task?

Hi @peroxid,

You are correct, a service account token and its associated secret are no longer generated automatically, giving the user the option to generate tokens and eventually secrets as deemed necessary. With that in mind, and according to the domain review 6.6 step 13, the sensible thing to do is to follow the instructions and generate the necessary token for the newly created service account. Were you able to successfully create it? Did you encounter any issues?

Regards,
