What does it do ?

This removes the substitution that replaces + and / to - and _ respectively from the documentation for example to generate AES (base64 encoded) encryption keys.

Motivation

After testing these commands while wanting to introduce it, there was cases in which the commands effectively used the substitution. Go's base64.StdEncoding.DecodeString method does not want these substitutions, hence the keys will not work and ExternalDNS won't start.

As mentioned in #5684; not sure if there was a reasoning behind this substitution.

Considering not every generation of a key with those commands result in the substitution being triggered, some generated keys effectively worked hence it may have been overlooked.

Hi @fkaiegl. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes-sigs/prow repository.
