• Containers expect configuration from


• Configuration files
• Command line arguments
• Environment variables

• INI - XML - JSON - Custom Format

ConfigMaps

• Decouples configuration from pods and components

• Stores configuration data as Key-value pairs


• Configuration files
• Command line arguments
• Environment variables

• Similar to Secrets but don’t contain sensitive information

• You must create a ConfigMap before referencing it in a Pod spec

Creating ConfigMaps

kubectl create configmap <map-name> <data-source>

• Path to dir/file: --from-file


• Key-Value pair : --from-literal
