[TIP]
====
If you need to access these encryption keys, you can find them using the `kubectl get secrets` command.
The secret is named after the corresponding Kibana instance. For example, for a Kibana named `my-kibana`, you can run the following command to retrieve the current encryption keys:
[source,shell,subs="attributes"]
----
kubectl get secret my-kibana-kb-config -o jsonpath='{ .data.kibana\.yml }' | base64 --decode | grep -A1 encryptedSavedObjects

You can provide your own encryption keys using a secure setting, as described in <<{p}-kibana-secure-settings,Secure settings>>.

NOTE: While most reconfigurations of your Kibana instances are carried out in rolling upgrade fashion, all version upgrades will cause Kibana downtime. This happens because you can only run a single version of Kibana at any given time. For more information, check link:https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/upgrade.html[Upgrade Kibana].
