What is configmap in Kubernetes?

Question

Could someone tell me what is a ConfigMap in Kubernetes?

Answer 1

ConfigMap is like a package that contains configuration settings. And this is used in Kubernetes to help you in keeping the application code separate from the configuration settings.

ConfigMap helps you change the configuration settings depending on the environment that may be production, development and testing and dynamically at runtime.
