Sometimes you may face issues where updates to a ConfigMap do not reflect in the mounted volume files in your pods. This guide will help you troubleshoot and resolve these issues.

Common Issues

  1. Changes to ConfigMap data do not appear in the pod volume mount.
  2. The application continues to use old configuration values despite ConfigMap updates.

subPath Volumes Doesnt Update

ConfigMap do not reflect in the mounted volume files when using subPath

For example, if you have used subPath option to mount a file using configmap, the changes to configmap wont get reflected on the pod.

You need to manually delete and recreate the pod to pick up the updated ConfigMap.

Or , If you're using Deployments, update the deployment to force a rolling restart when the ConfigMap changes.
