Wait, do I really need to mount it under /also/a/path? Seems odd.

Just create the ConfigMap with `kubectl create configmap another-config --from-literal=key4=value3`.

I practiced a similar task, but I can't remember if the path for the mount should be absolute or relative.

I feel a bit shaky on the specifics of the pod definition. Did we need to specify the container name or just the image?

Alright, let me think this through step-by-step. First, I'll create the ConfigMap, then I'll need to figure out the right way to mount it in the pod.

No problem, I've done this before. I'll create the ConfigMap first, then update the pod spec to mount the volume.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the volume mount part. I'll need to double-check the syntax for that.

Okay, this looks straightforward. I'll start by creating the ConfigMap with the key/value pair, then mount it into the nginx pod.
