# Reloader
This controller watches for changes to `ConfigMap` and `Secret` objects and performs rolling upgrades on their associated deployments, deamonsets and statefulsets and updating dynamically.
This is particularly useful if the `ConfigMap` is used to define environment variables - or your app cannot easily and reliably watch the `ConfigMap` and update itself on the fly.
**NOTE:** This controller has been inspired from [configmapController](https://github.com/fabric8io/configmapcontroller)
## How to use Reloader
For a `Deployment` called `foo` have a `ConfigMap` called `foo`. Then add this annotation to your `Deployment`
```yaml
metadata:
annotations:
reloader.stakater.com/update-on-change: "foo"
```
Then, providing `Reloader` is running, whenever you edit the `ConfigMap` called `foo` the Reloader will update the `Deployment` by adding the environment variable:
```
STAKATER_FOO_REVISION=${reloaderRevision}
```
This then triggers a rolling upgrade of your deployment's pods to use the new configuration.
