Managing Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Secrets
Applications running in Kubernetes often require configuration settings such as database URLs, API keys, and environment variables. Kubernetes provides two key resources for managing this configuration data:
- ConfigMaps – Store non-sensitive configuration data like environment variables and configuration files.
- Secrets – Store sensitive information like passwords, tokens, and certificates securely.
What is a ConfigMap?
A ConfigMap allows you to store configuration data separately from your application code. This enables dynamic configuration updates without modifying container images.
