ConfigMaps to mount file into pods
The example ConfigMap contains a single file named kirk.pem. Here, it is an SSL certificate and encoded as multiline text in YAML format. A char sequence “|-” introduces multiline contents. Afterwards, following and indented lines define file content. As a result, we see a single file. But the map may contain a set of files.
ConfigMap Example
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: es-certs-secret
namespace: ${NAMESPACE}
data:
kirk.pem: |-

Mounting files from ConfigMap is pretty simple. Line 19 defines a volume and references ConfigMap at line 21. Furthermore, section at line 11 volumeMounts references the volume. In consequence, a simple use case is to mount all files from config map into given mountPath. The example shows a more advanced use case which mounts single files into file system. This way allows mounting files beside existing files.

The most simple use case mounts the ConfigMap to a mount point. In consequence, it mounts all file entries to specified mount path and overrides existing contents. That means to replace an existing folder by on empty one. In consequence, it removes any existing file. After that, the empty folder mounts new contents.
The above example is more advanced and combines existing files with files from ConfigMap.
