Suggestions

Map ConfigMaps to keys in data to prevent multiple configuration structures from being maintained as one item in data. Otherwise items may be unintentionally overwritten during configuration update.

Information in secrets is encrypted for storage. When a user obtains a secret, the system decrypts and returns the content. Therefore, the key encryption mechanism cannot be used to ensure information security. Sensitive information must be encrypted before being configured in the data field. Otherwise, there may be security issues, such as data leaks.
