<p>Is there a recommended way to use <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/" rel="noreferrer">Kubernetes Secrets</a>? They can be exposed as environment variables or using a volume mount. Is one more secure than the other?</p>

<p>Kubernetes secrets exposed by environment variables may be able to be enumerated on the host via /proc/. If this is the case it's probably safer to load them via volume mounts.</p>
