Kustomize: Disabling hashed ConfigMap when using configMapGenerator

2 min read

When we try to use configMapGenerator to generate a ConfigMap containing some files like this:

configMapGenerator:
- name: config-files
  behavior: create
  files:
  - files/file1.txt
  - files/file2.txt

By default, it is going to append a hash to it:

$ kubectl get configmap
NAME                          DATA   AGE
config-files-m55tkfhh8f       2      45d

If we need to access this ConfigMap by name we might want to remove the hash.
