• Kustomize: Disabling hashed ConfigMap when using configMapGenerator

    2 min read

    kustomize configMapGenerator ConfigMap

    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.
