Best practice for adding app configuration files into kubernetes pods
You can use a configmap for this, but the configmap includes your config file. You can create a configmap with the content of your config file via the following:
kubectl create configmap my-config --from-file=my-config.ini=/path/to/your/config.iniand the bind it as a volume in your pod:
apiVersion: v1kind: Podmetadata: name: my-podspec: containers: - name: mypod ... volumeMounts: - name: config mountPath: "/config" readOnly: true volumes: - name: config configMap: name: my-config #the name of your configmapAfterwards your config is available in your pod under /config/my-config.ini
