# Kubernetes Configmap Handler

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for kubernetes configmap handler tasks within the DevOps Advanced domain.

## When to Use

This skill activates automatically when you:
- Mention "kubernetes configmap handler" in your request
- Ask about kubernetes configmap handler patterns or best practices
- Need help with advanced devops skills covering kubernetes, terraform, advanced ci/cd, monitoring, and infrastructure as code.

## Instructions

1. Provides step-by-step guidance for kubernetes configmap handler
2. Follows industry best practices and patterns
3. Generates production-ready code and configurations
4. Validates outputs against common standards

## Examples

**Example: Basic Usage**
Request: "Help me with kubernetes configmap handler"
Result: Provides step-by-step guidance and generates appropriate configurations


## Prerequisites

- Relevant development environment configured
- Access to necessary tools and services
- Basic understanding of devops advanced concepts


## Output

- Generated configurations and code
- Best practice recommendations
- Validation results


## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Configuration invalid | Missing required fields | Check documentation for required parameters |
| Tool not found | Dependency not installed | Install required tools per prerequisites |
| Permission denied | Insufficient access | Verify credentials and permissions |

Overview

This skill automates Kubernetes ConfigMap handler operations for advanced DevOps workflows. It provides step-by-step guidance, generates production-ready configurations, and validates outputs against common standards. Use it to streamline configuration management, enforce best practices, and integrate ConfigMap handling into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code pipelines.

How this skill works

The skill inspects user intent and context to produce ConfigMap manifests, handler code, and integration patterns tailored to your environment. It applies industry best practices, validates required fields, and flags common errors like missing keys or permission issues. It can output YAML manifests, Helm values snippets, and example controller or operator code in Python. The skill also supplies validation hints and remediation steps for detected issues.

When to use it

  • You need to create or update Kubernetes ConfigMaps as part of application deployment.
  • You want to embed ConfigMap handling into CI/CD pipelines or Terraform/Helm workflows.
  • You are designing controllers, operators, or init containers that consume ConfigMaps.
  • You need to validate ConfigMap structure, keys, or environment injection patterns.
  • You want production-ready examples and remediation steps for common ConfigMap errors.

Best practices

  • Keep ConfigMaps small and focused; store large binaries in dedicated storage or volumes.
  • Version or annotate ConfigMaps and use labels to track environment and deployment metadata.
  • Avoid embedding secrets in ConfigMaps; use Secrets for sensitive data and RBAC for access control.
  • Use immutable ConfigMaps for reproducible deployments when configuration should not change at runtime.
  • Validate schema and required keys during CI to fail fast on missing or malformed configuration.

Example use cases

  • Generate a ConfigMap manifest and a deployment snippet that mounts it as files or environment variables.
  • Produce a Helm values example and template logic to manage ConfigMap updates across environments.
  • Create a small Python controller example that watches ConfigMaps and triggers rolling restarts.
  • Validate an existing ConfigMap against a required schema and produce a remediation plan.
  • Integrate ConfigMap creation into a Terraform pipeline using kubernetes provider snippets.

FAQ

Can this skill handle secrets?

No. Use Kubernetes Secrets for sensitive data; the skill will recommend Secrets and RBAC when appropriate.

Does it generate Helm charts or raw manifests?

It can generate both: raw YAML manifests, Helm template snippets, and integration examples for CI/CD or Terraform.
