UUID

The UUID generator provides random UUIDs that you can feed into your applications. A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit label used for information in computer systems. Please see below for the format in use.

Output Keys and Values

Key	Description
uuid	the generated UUID

Parameters

The UUID generator does not require any additional parameters.

Example Manifest

apiVersion: generators.external-secrets.io/v1alpha1
kind: UUID
metadata:
  name: my-uuid
spec: {}

Example ExternalSecret that references the UUID generator:

apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1beta1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: "uuid"
spec:
  refreshInterval: "30m"
  target:
    name: uuid-secret
  dataFrom:
    - sourceRef:
        generatorRef:
          apiVersion: generators.external-secrets.io/v1alpha1
          kind: UUID
          name: "my-uuid"

Which will generate a Kind=Secret with a key called 'uuid' that may look like:

EA111697-E7D0-452C-A24C-8E396947E865

With default values you would get something like:
