Configuration Template
Use template processors to generate configuration from ConfigMaps
Intent & Description
The Configuration Template pattern uses template processors to generate configuration files from templates with data from ConfigMaps. This enables dynamic configuration generation while keeping templates in version control. The processor fills in template variables with values from ConfigMaps before the application starts.
Real-world Use Case
Use when you need to generate configuration dynamically or when you want to maintain configuration templates with variable substitution.
