If you want to send the mail with smtp auth , use the below command:

echo $EMAILMESSAGE | mailx -s "DDOS Attack IP Blocked" -S smtp=smtp://xyz.net:587 -S smtp-auth=login -S smtp-auth-user=alerts@xyz.net -S smtp-auth-password=9879ljouhkh888 -S from="DDOS Attack IP Blocked " admin@xyz.net
Here we are using the smtp login details of the email id alerts@xyz.net.

K8s External Secrets integration between AWS EKS and Secrets Manager(SM) using IAM Role.

What is K8s External Secrets and how it will make your life easier? Before explaning about External Secrets we will first look into the k8s secrets and how it will work. In k8s secrets we will create key value pairs of the secrets and set this as either pod env variables or mount them as volumes to pods. For more details about k8s secrets you can check my blog http://jinojoseph.blogspot.com/2020/08/k8s-secrets-explained.html   So in this case if developers wants to change the ENV variables , then we have to edit the k8s manifest yaml file, then we have to apply the new files to the deployment. This is a tiresome process and also chances of applying to the wrong context is high if you have multiple k8s clusters for dev / stage and Prod deployments. So in-order to make this easy , we can add all the secrets that is needed in the deployment, in the AWS Secret Manager and with the help of External secrets we can fetch and create those secrets in the k8s cluster. So what is K8s external...

K8s Secrets Explained.

 What is Secrets in K8s? Secrets are used to store sensitive information like Authentication Token, Passwords, SSH Keys and  Certificates. It is stored in etcd, datastore of k8s. The main advantage of the secret is that it can be updated dynamically , so if we want to change the username or password or ssh key of any of the containers inside the pod, then just changing the secret will dynamically update the existing and newely created POD's env values and ssh-key (mount as volume) . jinojosep@cloudshell:~ (boreal-physics-256910)$ kubectl create secret generic secret-demo --from-literal=username=jinouname --from-literal=password=jinomypassword secret/secret-demo created ################################ jinojosep@cloudshell:~ (boreal-physics-256910)$ kg secret NAME                  TYPE                                  DATA   AGE default-tok...
