title: Kubernetes/OC ConfigMap vs config in git and process in container to watch for changes
body: <p>I am deploying a spring boot application and is considering various options for externalize configuration. I came to know below options.</p>
  
  <pre><code>1) ConfigMap
  2) properties/yaml file in Git and a process in container to watch for changes and restart the application with new properties if there are any changes.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is not only related to application only, But can be relevant for other components as well like proxies(apache RP,nginx)/load balancers etc.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
