Do you mean that you have a ConfigMap holding the content of a kong.yml declarative config file that you would like to be read by Kong (POSTed to /config endpoint in Kong) whenever the ConfigMap is changed?
Have you found the answer to this? I was of the impression that kong reload would get the job done, but it doesn’t seem to do the trick. Restarting kong just to reload kong.yml seems wrong.
Did using the config endpoint work for you? I am trying DB-less kong on Docker and have to restart the whole container for the changes made to configuration to take effect.
I did operator from kubernetes that watching changes in any configmap, so when it happen a change the operator looking for deployment that uses this cm and restart the deployment.
