Kubernetes 101 – ConfigMap & Secrets
ConfigMap A ConfigMap is used to store non-confidential data in key-value pairs. They allow decoupling of environment-specific configuration from container images, so that the applications are easily portable. Pods can consume ConfigMaps as environment variables, command-line arguments, or as configuration files in a volume. Definition: apiVersion: v1 kind: ConfigMap metadata: name: database-config data: user: dev-user […]

Kubernetes 101 – Namespaces
Intro Before jumping into Kubernetes resources, let’s take a look over a very important concept called Namespace. Namespaces are a way to separate cluster resources. Namespace-based scoping is applicable only for certain types of objects (e.g. Pods Deployments, Services, etc.) and not for cluster-wide objects (e.g. StorageClass, Nodes, PersistentVolumes, etc.). Usage Retrieve all defined namespaces. […]
