+# 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.
