Excuse me Aurélie, I've only ever seen examples of using the Configmap for environment values, is it possible to use Configmap values somewhere else? (say port, image, labels, etc)
Imagine you have an app which needed a configuration file (configuration.properties). In this conf file you have properties like an url, a port, an username..
When the app started it load the conf
You can use ConfigMap which embed this conf file and then link the ConfigMap to your pod.

If you want to tell to kubernetes which container image tag to run, use Kustomize for example
