Shared content for all Kubernetes secrets docs - per volume secret

For encrypting volumes using specific secret keys, you need to provide that key for every create and attach command.

To create an encrypted volume using a specific secret through Portworx CLI, run the following command:

pxctl volume create --secure --secret_key key1 enc_vol
Encrypted volume successfully created: 374663852714325215

To create a sharedv4 encrypted volume run the following command:

pxctl volume create --sharedv4 --secret_key key1 --secure --size 10 enc_shared_vol
Encrypted Sharedv4 volume successfully created: 77957787758406722

To create an encrypted volume using a specific secret through docker, run the following command:

docker volume create --volume-driver pxd secret_key=key1,name=enc_vol

To create an encrypted shared volume using a specific secret through docker, run the following command:

docker volume create --volume-driver pxd shared=true,secret_key=key1,name=enc_shared_vol

To attach and mount an encrypted volume through docker, run the following command:

docker run --rm -it -v secure=true,secret_key=key1,name=enc_vol:/mnt busybox
