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. The generator produces version 4 (random) UUIDs as defined in RFC 9562, in the lowercase canonical form.

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/v1
kind: ExternalSecret
metadata:
  name: "uuid"
spec:
  refreshInterval: "30m0s"
  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:
