00:00:01,370 --> 00:00:06,020
As we discussed in the last video we need to somehow make the Jason Webb token signing key available

2
00:00:06,020 --> 00:00:07,780
to all of our different services.

3
00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:12,440
We're going to solve this using a feature inside of Cuban ideas that is designed for sharing its secret

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,680
information throughout different pieces of our application.

5
00:00:15,770 --> 00:00:17,580
So a couple of quick diagrams.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,950
This is a diagram of our Cuban eddies node.

7
00:00:19,970 --> 00:00:24,920
Inside of it there are many different pods in it and in our case all these different pods are running

8
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:30,930
a container that needs to somehow get access to that Jason Webb token signing key to do so we are going

9
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:34,730
to create a new kind of object inside of our cluster.

10
00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:41,060
But this is an object called a secret remember that objects are referring to just about everything we

11
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:42,650
create inside of Cuban eddies.

12
00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:45,320
So a pod is an object a deployment is an object.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,700
And so on a secret is a is a object just the same inside of a secret.

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,880
We can store little key value pairs of information so you and I can create a secret that's going to

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:02,350
store something it says Jason Webb token key equals a SDF or something very similar to that.

16
00:01:02,510 --> 00:01:07,340
Once we create the secret we can load it into the containers that are created inside of all of our different

17
00:01:07,340 --> 00:01:13,590
pods the secret is going to be exposed as an environment variable.

18
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:18,060
Now this diagram right here is just a little bit deceptive because I'm saying that inside of our pod

19
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,150
we've got some off thing and there's some environment variables to be precise.

20
00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:28,980
We have our ops application right here really the node program of off that is running inside the container

21
00:01:29,490 --> 00:01:33,150
and inside of that container there are a set of environment variables.

22
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:36,900
So when I'm saying that there is an environment variable inside the pod the environment variable is

23
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:43,870
really inside the same container as the off application they're going to take that Jason key or assuming

24
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:49,450
that Jason Webb token key equals a SDF assign it to these environment variable sets and then we can

25
00:01:49,450 --> 00:01:53,830
easily access that information from inside of our node J.S. code.

26
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,310
So that's how we're going to store the Jason Webb token signing key.

27
00:01:57,310 --> 00:02:02,830
In one location securely and then actually get it available to all the different services that need

28
00:02:02,830 --> 00:02:05,740
it now that we understand what we're gonna do.

29
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:06,990
Another quick pause right here.

30
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:11,700
We will create the secret in the next video and then make sure that it gets exposed to all of our different

31
00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:12,630
micro surfaces.
