<p>I have been trying to play around with creating secrets for Kubernetes cluster using the python client. I keep getting an error that says</p>

<pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):

</code></pre>

<p>This is my code that I am trying to execute to create a secret.</p>

<pre><code>from __future__ import print_function
import time
import kubernetes.client
from pprint import pprint
from kubernetes import client, config

config.load_kube_config()
v1 = client.CoreV1Api()
namespace = 'kube-system'
metadata = {'name': 'pk-test-tls', 'namespace': 'kube-system'}
data=  {'tls.crt': '###BASE64 encoded crt###', 'tls.key': '###BASE64 encoded Key###'}
api_version = 'v1'
kind = 'none'
body = kubernetes.client.V1Secret(api_version, data , kind, metadata, 
type='kubernetes.io/tls')

api_response = v1.create_namespaced_secret(namespace, body)
pprint(api_response)
</code></pre>

<p>What am I missing here?</p>

<p>Almost everything that you have written is alright but pay attention to the message received from <code>kube-apiserver</code>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>HTTP response body: {&quot;kind&quot;:&quot;Status&quot;,&quot;apiVersion&quot;:&quot;v1&quot;,&quot;metadata&quot;:{},&quot;status&quot;:&quot;Failure&quot;,&quot;message&quot;:&quot;none in version &quot;v1&quot; cannot be handled as a Secret: no kind &quot;none&quot; is registered for version &quot;v1&quot;&quot;,&quot;reason&quot;:&quot;BadRequest&quot;,&quot;code&quot;:400}</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Especially <strong>no kind &quot;none&quot;</strong>. Is it just typo or do you have something on your mind here?</p>
<p>You have list of kinds here <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#types-kinds" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/api-conventions.md#types-kinds</a></p>
<p>If you change kind to &quot;Secret&quot; then everything will be working fine.</p>
