How can you check a Kubernetes ConfigMap's values?

• A. kubectl get configmap/colour-configmap
• B. kubectl delete configmap/colour-configmap
• C. kubectl describe configmap/colour-configmap
• D. kubectl apply -f configmap.yaml

Answer: (C)

To check a ConfigMap’s values, you want to inspect the Data field that holds the key-value pairs. Using kubectl describe for the ConfigMap prints its details and, in the Data section, lists the keys and their values, making it easy to verify what the ConfigMap contains. Other options don’t serve this purpose directly: deleting removes the ConfigMap, applying creates or updates it from a file, and getting it without formatting doesn’t necessarily show the data in a readable way (you’d need -o yaml or -o json to see the Data). So describe is the straightforward way to view the stored values.
