env-secrets.yml

# Use secrets for things which are actually secret like API keys, credentials, etc
# Base64 encode the values stored in a Kubernetes Secret: $ pbpaste | base64 | pbcopy
# The --decode flag is convenient: $ pbpaste | base64 --decode

kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: env-secrets
type: Opaque
data:
  DB_PASSWORD: cDZbUGVXeU5e0ZW

Or for loading explicit values from a secret:

env:
- name: PASSWORD
  valueFrom:
    secretKeyRef:
      name: my-credentials
      key: password
