Password/sensitive data management in a container based eco system

A computer usable program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage devices, and computer-usable code stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the computer-usable code comprising:

• program instructions to compile a configuration map onto a client device, the configuration map to be transmitted to a container manager within a network;
• program instructions to transmit the configuration map to the container manager managing a cluster of containers within the network;
• program instructions to transmit the configuration map from the container manager to a validation service endpoint to attempt to validate the configuration map compiled;
• program instructions to cause, responsive to the transmitting the configuration map from the container manager, at the validation service endpoint, a determination whether the configuration map should be validated by the validation service endpoint;
• and
• program instructions to receive from the validation service endpoint the configuration map with a new environmental variable responsive to the validation service endpoint validating the configuration map.

A computer system comprising one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, and one or more computer-readable storage devices, and computer-usable code stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, the computer-usable code comprising:

• program instructions to compile a configuration map onto a client device, the configuration map to be transmitted to a container manager within a network;
• program instructions to transmit the configuration map to the container manager managing a cluster of containers within the network;
• program instructions to transmit the configuration map from the container manager to a validation service endpoint to attempt to validate the configuration map compiled;
• program instructions to cause, responsive to the transmitting the configuration map from the container manager, at the validation service endpoint, a determination whether the configuration map should be validated by the validation service endpoint;
• and
• program instructions to receive from the validation service endpoint the configuration map with a new environmental variable responsive to the validation service endpoint validating the configuration map.
