Passing Configuration Data to a Kubernetes Container
Kubernetes has multiple options for storing and managing configuration data. This lab will focus on the process of passing that configuration data to your containers in order to configure applications. You will have the opportunity to work with application configuration in Kubernetes hands-on by passing some existing configuration data stored in Secrets and ConfigMaps to a container.
