# Creating a Kubernetes ConfigMap You can use Kubernetes ConfigMaps to store non-sensitive configuration data as key-value pairs. These values can later be mounted into containers as files or environment variables. ## Creating a Kubernetes ConfigMap 1. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to **Kubernetes** → **Config Maps**. 2. Click **Add**. The **Add Config Map** pane displays.

3. Complete the fields:


Name	Enter a name for the ConfigMap. (e.g., `my-config-map`).
Data	Add a key-value pair for each file to include in the ConfigMap, using a colon `:` to separate the key (filename) and value (file content). Example: `config.yaml: key1: value1`
Labels	Enter key-value pairs to assign metadata to this ConfigMap. To group it with related workloads in the Kubernetes Apps page, add an app name using the format `app.duplocloud.net/app-name: "<app name>"`.

4. Click **Create** to create the ConfigMap. To use this ConfigMap in your application,[ mount it as a volume in a container](https://docs.duplocloud.com/docs/automation-platform/kubernetes-overview/mounting-config-as-files#mounting-a-kubernetes-configmap-as-a-volume). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
