| # Base Configurations | |||
|
|
|||
| Base Configurations help you choose Deployment Template for defining application specifications, create ConfigMaps for managing non-sensitive data, and create Secrets for securely handling sensitive information. In Devtron, these are core settings that dictate the application's behavior. | |||

why and when should one care about base configuration? Some of the reasons are: It's a way for sharing common configuration across env overrides, u can use it to bootstrap new pipelines/ env's... U can use scoped variables to templatize your env configuration...

| # Deployment Template | |||
|
|
|||
| In Devtron, a Deployment Template defines how your application runs by specifying its configuration settings. Devtron uses Helm charts to manage these deployments, allowing you to control everything from resource allocation to environment variables. You can use default deployment charts provided by Devtron or custom deployment charts developed by a super-admin to suit your needs. | |||

| # Secrets | |||
|
|
|||
| Secrets and ConfigMaps are both used to store environment variables but there is one major difference between them: ConfigMap stores key-values in normal text format; whereas secrets store them in base64 encrypted form. Devtron hides the data of secrets for the normal users and it is only visible to the users having edit permission. | |||

not just environment variables can be as file as well, you can write like both are store data, one sensitive other non-sensitive
