Creating a config map from literal values

You can supply literal values for a config map.

Procedure

The --from-literal option takes a key=value syntax that allows literal values to be supplied directly on the command line.

1. Create a ConfigMap specifying a literal value:

   $ oc create configmap special-config \
       --from-literal=special.how=very \
       --from-literal=special.type=charm

2. Verify the results:

   $ oc get configmaps special-config -o yaml

   Example output

   apiVersion: v1
   data:
     special.how: very
     special.type: charm
   kind: ConfigMap
   metadata:
