+8. **Configuración de Secrets (opcional):**
+
+   Para no mantener los secretos en el SVC (si se utiliza uno), se pueden pasar a `helm` mediante un archivo `secrets.yaml` con la opción `-f`. Si existe `./helm/secrets.yaml` (en la carpeta `./helm`, es decir en la misma ubicación que `values.yaml`), se utilizarán estos valores; de lo contrario, se utilizarán los definidos en `values.yaml`. Estos valores sobrescribirán los existentes.
+
+   Cabe destacar que al crear `./helm/secrets.yaml`, el script `run.sh` lo detectará automáticamente y lo utilizará al ejecutar `helm`. Por lo tanto, no es necesario realizar acciones adicionales, ya que el script gestionará la detección y el paso de este archivo a `helm`.
