## Real World Example: Configuring Redis using a ConfigMap
|
|
|
|
You can follow the steps below to configure a Redis cache using data stored in a ConfigMap.
|
|
|
|
First create a ConfigMap from the `redis-config` file:
|
|
|
|
{{< codenew file="pods/config/redis-config" >}}
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl -OL https://k8s.io/examples/pods/config/redis-config
|
|
kubectl create configmap example-redis-config --from-file=redis-config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
configmap/example-redis-config created
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Examine the created ConfigMap:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl get configmap example-redis-config -o yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiVersion: v1
|
|
data:
|
|
redis-config: |
|
|
maxmemory 2mb
|
|
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru
|
|
kind: ConfigMap
|
|
metadata:
|
|
creationTimestamp: 2016-03-30T18:14:41Z
|
|
name: example-redis-config
|
|
namespace: default
|
|
resourceVersion: "24686"
|
|
selfLink: /api/v1/namespaces/default/configmaps/example-redis-config
|
|
uid: 460a2b6e-f6a3-11e5-8ae5-42010af00002
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now create a pod specification that uses the config data stored in the ConfigMap:
|
|
|
|
{{< codenew file="pods/config/redis-pod.yaml" >}}
|
|
|
|
Create the pod:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl create -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/config/redis-pod.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the example, the config volume is mounted at `/redis-master`.
|
|
It uses `path` to add the `redis-config` key to a file named `redis.conf`.
|
|
The file path for the redis config, therefore, is `/redis-master/redis.conf`.
|
|
This is where the image will look for the config file for the redis master.
|
|
|
|
Use `kubectl exec` to enter the pod and run the `redis-cli` tool to verify that
|
|
the configuration was correctly applied:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl exec -it redis redis-cli
|
|
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET maxmemory
|
|
1) "maxmemory"
|
|
2) "2097152"
|
|
127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET maxmemory-policy
|
|
1) "maxmemory-policy"
|
|
2) "allkeys-lru"
|
|
```
