- We can use a few annotations at POD and configMaps to do that.
- Add below annotations at metadata to configMap
annotations:
reloader.stakater.com/match: "true"- Add below annotations at metadata to deployment
annotations:
reloader.stakater.com/search: "true"- Reference YAML below
Example:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: first-deployment
labels:
app: nginx-test
annotations:
reloader.stakater.com/search: "true"
spec:
### REPLICASET SPEC ####

- Do port-forward to the deploy
kubectl port-forward deploy/first-deployment -n demo 8088:80- Open the browser and access https://127.0.0.1:8088
- Make changes to configmap YAML and APPLY.
- reload webpage [127.0.0.1:8088], it comes with new configMap values.
