ConfigMap as a "Volume"

We can use a ConfigMap to declare a file and then mount it as a volume to any container:

The ConfigMap is specified in the volumes section, the name of the volume has to match the volumeMounts name.

Two things to take into account, the mountPath could have been any path, the subPath must match the ConfigMap→data→key/file(index.html, in this case) defined.

The Service can be used to attach to an existing Ingress or any networking resource.

  volumeMounts:
  - name: html-volume
    mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html/index.html
    subPath: index.html
  ports:
  - containerPort: 80
volumes:
- name: html-volume
  configMap:
    name: html
