Question: how do I decide between auto, reload, and search/match?

[aqeelat]

I have a bunch of helm charts deployments, most with their own configmap/secret. I also have a couple of shared secrets and configmaps.

The current configmaps and secrets have the same name as the deployment.

My options:

1. auto. I will have to rename everything which is fine, but this will not cover the shared stuff, and will not cover envFrom.
2. reload. I could also use some jujitsu templating (or statically) and add the names of all configmaps/secrets used in each deployment.
3. search/match. I could also slap search/match on everything and call it a day.

In my situation, the first option does not seem like a good idea.
The third option is very appealing, but are there performance implications?
If the third option is out, then reload will be the winning option.

Hi @aqeelat
Have you tried the first approach?
And why do you have to rename everything?
