Operation	Description
Update	After adding or updating a Secret, workloads that have referenced this Secret (or its configuration items) via environment variables need to have their Pods rebuilt for the new configuration to take effect.
Delete	After deleting a Secret, workloads that have referenced this Secret (or its configuration items) via environment variables may be impacted due to the inability to find the reference source when rebuilding Pods. Please do not delete the Secrets automatically generated by the platform, as this may prevent the platform from functioning properly. For example: Secrets of type service-account-token that contain authentication information for namespace resources and Secrets in system namespaces (such as kube-system).
