Helpful tip when using a sink type of cassandra-sink

[David Dieruf]

The value of the secure connect bundle comes from the command:
base64 ./secure-connect-asdf.zip > ./b64-secure-connect.txt

It's going to be 100's of lines of text so to add it in the secrets manifest:

secrets:
  - name: cassandra
    id: cassandra
   data:
      username: <something>
      password: <something>
      secure-connect-bundle: |

That tip of base64 could also be on the data storage > datasource page.

Here are revised commands that dump the base64 result to the screen. Instead of writing them to disk. That was a bad security idea.

Powershell

PS > [Convert]::ToBase64String([IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("<absolute-path-to-folder>\secure-connect-asdf.zip"))

Linux

$ > base64 ./secure-connect-asdf.zip
