+Kubernetes ConfigMap can be referred as a source of environment variables in Pods or Deployments.
+
+For example ConfigMap defined in following YAML:
+```
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: ConfigMap
+metadata:
+  name: foo
+data:
+    FOO: bar
+```
+
+can be referred in a Pod in following way:
+```
+apiVersion: v1

+metadata:

+  containers:
+  - command:
+    - top
+    name: container-1
+    image: foobar
+    envFrom:
+      - configMapRef:
+      name: foo
+      optional: false
+```
+
+and as a result environment variable `FOO` will be set to `bar` for container `container-1`.
