DESCRIPTION

       image or in source control, such as usernames and passwords, TLS certificates and keys, SSH keys or other
       important generic strings or binary content (up to 500 kb in size).

       Secrets will not be committed to an image with podman commit, and will not be in the archive created by a
       podman export
