Bulk secret creation via single API call

[xeronix]

Hello,

We need to create multiple K8s secrets. As of now we are creating each secret via separate API call using fabric8io k8s client.
How can we create multiple secrets via single API call ?

Try using the resourceList() DSL entrypoint to provide SecretList which contains the list of Secrets you want to create.

kubernetes-client/kubernetes-tests/src/test/java/io/fabric8/kubernetes/client/mock/ResourceListTest.java

Line 112 in 464e32e

client.resourceList(new PodListBuilder().addToItems(pod1).build()).inNamespace("ns1").createOrReplace();

This does not help. It still makes multiple HTTP calls to API server.
I thing API itself is not available.
We do have bulk delete API -> https://pwittrock.github.io/docs/api-reference/v1.7/#delete-collection-205
But, not able to find bulk create API.

I don't think the Kube API supports bulk resource creation:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/#single-resource-api

Single resource API

The Kubernetes API verbs get, create, update, patch, delete and proxy support single resources only. These verbs with single resource support have no support for submitting multiple resources together in an ordered or unordered list or transaction.

So, from the Fabric8 Kubernetes Client standpoint, it's impossible to achieve what you want.

Yes, will raise a request for this API in K8s project itself.
