<p>You can make your deployed application get the secret (password) programmatically, from Google Cloud Secret Manager. You can find and example in many languages in the following link: <a href="https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/samples/secretmanager-access-secret-version" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://cloud.google.com/secret-manager/docs/samples/secretmanager-access-secret-version</a></p>
<p>But before make sure that your GKE setup, more specifically your application is able to authenticate to Google Cloud Secret Manager. The following links can help you to choose the appropriate approche:</p>
