When a secret being already consumed in a volume is updated, projected keys are eventually updated as well.
Kubelet is checking whether the mounted secret is fresh on every periodic sync.
However, it is using its local ttl-based cache for getting the current value of the secret.
As a result, the total delay from the moment when the secret is updated to the moment when new keys are
projected to the pod can be as long as kubelet sync period + ttl of secrets cache in kubelet.
However, it is using its local cache for getting the current value of the secret.
The type of the cache is configurable (`ConfigMapAndSecretChangeDetectionStrategy` field
in [KubeletConfiguration struct](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.12/pkg/kubelet/apis/kubeletconfig/v1beta1/types.go)
and can be either propagated via watch (default), ttl-based or simply redirecting
all requests to directly kube-apiserver.
As a result, the total delay from the moment when the secret is updated to the moment
when new keys are projected to the pod can be as long as kubelet sync period + cache
propagation delay, where cache propagation delay depends on the chosen cache type
(it equals to watch propagation delay, ttl of cache or zero corespondingly).
