Kuztomize Secret & Configmap Generators - Practical Examples

The Kustomize Configmap and Secret generator allows for the automatic creation of unique Configmaps and Secrets with hashed names. When updates are made to these resources, new Configmaps/Secrets with different hashes are generated, and the Deployment is automatically updated, triggering a rollout and ensuring that the application running inside the pod receives the updated data. However, it's important to manage orphaned Configmaps and consider using the --prune flag or GitOps tools to handle them properly.
