-## Managing secrets
-
-### get secrets
-
-### get secret <name> -oplaintext
-
--oplaintext exposes the raw secret value.
-
-### create secret
-
-`kops create secret sshpublickey admin -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub`
-
-### delete secret
-
-Syntax: `kops delete secret <type> <name>`
-or `kops delete secret <type> <name> <id>`
-
-The ID form can be used when there are multiple matching keys.
-
-example:
-`kops delete secret sshpublickey admin`
-
-Note: it is currently not possible to delete secrets from the keystore that have the type "Secret"
-
-### adding ssh credential from spec file
-```yaml
-apiVersion: kops.k8s.io/v1alpha2
-kind: SSHCredential
-metadata:
-  labels:
-    kops.k8s.io/cluster: dev.k8s.example.com
-spec:
-  publicKey: "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1 dev@devbox"
-```
-
-## Workaround for changing secrets with type "Secret"
-As it is currently not possible to modify or delete + create secrets of type "Secret" with the CLI you have to modify them directly in the kOps s3 bucket.
-
-They are stored /clustername/secrets/ and contain the secret as a base64 encoded string. To change the secret base64 encode it with:
-
-```echo -n 'MY_SECRET' | base64```
-
-and replace it in the "Data" field of the file. Verify your change with get secrets and perform a rolling update of the cluster.
