<p>My quest is basically:</p>
<p>What is does the pipe {'|'} mean in a configmap?
Code Sample:
Taken from: <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/configmap/</a></p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: game-demo
data:
  # property-like keys; each key maps to a simple value
  player_initial_lives: &quot;3&quot;
  ui_properties_file_name: &quot;user-interface.properties&quot;

  # file-like keys
  game.properties: |   # &lt;--- Here
    enemy.types=aliens,monsters
    player.maximum-lives=5    
  user-interface.properties: | # &lt;--- Here
    color.good=purple
    color.bad=yellow
    allow.textmode=true  
</code></pre>
<p>This seems a bit of trivial but what does it mean and what is its purpose.
Any special use cases.</p>
<p>Thank You for any clarification!</p>

<p>It's a multiline string. See <a href="https://yaml-multiline.info/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://yaml-multiline.info/</a> for examples</p>
