 Volumes
 This configuration is using a Persistent Volume to store the Ghost blog data, this can be done by creating a persistent volume and persistent volume claim, and then referencing it in the ghost-blog-deployment.yaml file.
 
-# ingress-service.yaml
+ingress-service.yaml
 In this example, $(VAR_HOST) and $(SECRET_NAME) are variables that are stored in a configMap and a Secret, respectively. These variables can be managed and updated separately from the YAML files, making it easier to update and maintain your configuration.
 
-To use variables in your YAML files, you'll first need to create a configMap and a Secret that contains the variables you need. You can do this using the kubectl command-line tool.
-
-For configMap, you can create it with the following command:
-
-Copy code
-kubectl create configmap my-config-map --from-literal=VAR_HOST=example.com
-And for Secret:
-
-Copy code
-kubectl create secret generic my-secret --from-literal=SECRET_NAME=mysecret
-Once you've created the configMap and Secret, you can reference them in your YAML files using the $(VAR_NAME) syntax.
-
-You can also manage and update the variables in the configMap and Secret using kubectl commands.
-
-It's important to note that configMap and Secret are not the only way to use variables in Kubernetes, you can also use other tools like Helm or Kustomize.

-# ghost-blog-deployment.yaml
-In this example, the ghost-blog-deployment.yaml file has been updated to include the use of configMapKeyRef and secretKeyRef to reference variables for the url and database connection details respectively. The configMap and secrets resources must be created separately and referenced here. Additionally, the database__client and all database__connection__* keys are using secrets to manage the sensitive data. I've also defined resources limits and requests for the ghost-blog container. volumeMounts and volumes sections are added to the deployment.yaml file for the persistent volume claim for ghost-data.
