Kubernetes uses ConfigMaps to store and share unencrypted configuration information. They bind configuration artifacts of Kubernetes to the Pod containers and system components dynamically. In this course you’ll explore the role of ConfigMaps and the different approaches of using ConfigMaps along with the different types of Kubernetes Secrets and the different approaches of using Secrets in Pods. You’ll create ConfigMaps from single file, multiple files, and from generators. Next, you’ll create ConfigMaps containing multiple key-value pairs and use ConfigMaps to define environment variables. Moving on, you’ll create Secrets using a Secret config file, by defining a secretGenerator and also define container environment variables using the date from Secrets. Finally, you’ll use the Kubectl apply command to create a Pod, provide access to the Secret data through a volume, create an imagePullSecret and add image pull secret to the service account. This course is part of a series that aligns with the objectives for the Certified Kubernetes Administrator exam and can be used to prepare for this exam.
