## Update Deployments when ConfigMaps change
Kubernetes does [not currently][] have the ability to perform rolling updates
of Deployments and other resource types when `ConfigMap` or `Secret` objects
are updated.
It is possible to make use of annotations and templating functions in
Kontemplate to force updates to these resources anyways (assuming that the
`ConfigMap` or `Secret` contains interpolated variables).
For example:
```yaml
# A ConfigMap that contains some data structure in JSON format
---
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: app-config
data:
configFile: {{ .appConfig | json }}
```
Now whenever the `appConfig` variable changes we would like to update the
`Deployment` making use of it, too. We can do this by adding a hash of the
configuration to the annotations of the created `Pod` objects:
```yaml
---
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: app
spec:
template:
metadata:
annotations:
configHash: {{ .appConfig | json | sha256sum }}
spec:
containers:
- name: app
# Some details omitted ...
volumeMounts:
- name: config
mountPath: /etc/app/
volumes:
- name: config
configMap:
name: app-config
```
Now if the `ConfigMap` object appears first in the resource files, `kubectl`
will apply the resources sequentially and the updated annotation will cause
a rolling update of all relevant pods.
## direnv & pass
Users of `pass` may have multiple different password stores on their machines.
Assuming that `kontemplate` configuration exists somewhere on the filesystem
per project, it is easy to use [direnv][] to switch to the correct
`PASSWORD_STORE_DIR` variable when entering the folder.
