Create configMap in Kubernetes using Terraform Script

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new to Terraform. I want to use Kubernetes as a provider in Terraform. But before launching a Pod, I want to create a ConfigMap using Terraform Script. How can I do that?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the kubernetes_config_map resource in Terraform. This has the capability to create a ConfigMap as shown below.

resource "kubernetes_config_map" "dbconfig" {
   "metadata" {
       name = "dbconfig"
   }
   data = {
       dbconnection = "${var.project_id}:${var.region}:${google_sql_database_instance.master.name}"
   }
}
