ConfigMap-K8S
Table of Contents
1. Definition:
- ConfigMap is an API object in Kubernetes used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs.
2. Purpose:
- To decouple configuration artifacts from container images to make applications more secure and portable.
3. Limitations:
- They are not suited to store sensitive information such as passwords or keys; for that, Kubernetes Secrets should be used.
- ConfigMaps are limited to 1MB each; exceeding this limit requires a different approach.
