Kubernetes - ConfigMaps

You run this command:

kubectl create configmap my-config --from-literal=key1=value1 key2=value2

But it fails with an error. What is the likely cause?

AThe command does not support any literals

BMissing '=' after --from-literal for the second key-value pair

CConfigMap name 'my-config' is invalid

DYou must use --from-file instead of --from-literal

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze command syntax
The command uses --from-literal=key1=value1 correctly but then adds key2=value2 without --from-literal=.
Step 2: Understand correct usage
Each literal must be preceded by its own --from-literal= option. Omitting it causes a syntax error.
Final Answer:
Missing '=' after --from-literal for the second key-value pair -> Option B
Quick Check:
Each literal needs its own --from-literal= [OK]

Quick Trick: Repeat --from-literal= for each key=value pair [OK]
