Question

A building-permits app needs public endpoint URLs and database credentials in the same Pod. How should those settings typically be split?

Accepted Answer

Use a ConfigMap for non-sensitive URLs and a Secret for credentials side by side. — Split the toolbox: yellow sticky notes for URLs (ConfigMap), locked box for passwords (Secret). Most apps mount or env-load both together.

Answer

Put both URLs and passwords only in a single public ConfigMap.

Answer

Put both URLs and passwords only inside the container image layers.

Answer

Use only a PersistentVolumeClaim; PVC objects store all env configuration natively.
