services / Azure / Fleet Kubernetes configmaps

Kubernetes ConfigMap objects inside an Azure Fleet hub cluster, holding application and cluster configuration consumed by workloads and controllers.

ConfigMaps routinely contain endpoints, connection settings, and inadvertently-stored credentials or tokens, making them sensitive to read and impactful to alter or delete.
