K8s Environment Variables Setup Demo

This repo demonstrates all the four ways environment variables could be set as described in the blog post here.

Prerequisites

This example assumes the following:

  1. You have an existing Kubernetes cluster.
  2. You have a basic understanding of Kubernetes Pods, Secrets, and ConfigMaps.

Usage

Run make to create all the resoures required in this demo.

Run make check to show the following output:

app: Pizza = Flour + Cheese + Tomato

This indicates that the service running in the pod has appropriately extracted:

  • app from the name field of the Pod specs
  • Pizza from the string literal defined for MEAL environment variable in the Pod specs
  • Flour from key-value pair defined in the env-app-config ConfigMap
  • Cheese from the value of the ingredient key defined in the app-config ConfigMap
  • Tomato from the value of the ingredient key defined in the app-secret Secret

Run make clean to delete all resources created in this demo.
