Config Files

Config Files are a convenient way of mapping plain-text files into the Container, at the given path.

In the Kubernetes cluster, a Config File is mapped to a ConfigMap, that is read-only mounted into the Container at the path given.

The Config File does not support hot-swapping - changes to a Config File results in new resources being generated and Capsule instances being restarted.

Secrets

If a Config File is marked as a secret, it will be created as a Secret in Kubernetes, rather than a ConfigMap.
