-**Note**: Unfortuntaly, when you deploy using the fabric8 plugin, the readyness and liveness probes fail to point to the right actuator URL due a lack of support for spring boot.

 The name of the config map (*"reload-example"*) matches the name of the application as declared in the *application.properties* file.

+To help you get started, a sample `ServiceAccount` and `RoleBinding` configuration is provided in `src/k8s` directory. These configuration needs to be applied to your K8s cluster and the newly created `ServiceAccount` needs to be attached to your pod spec like this:
