   % kubectl create ns inotify-example
   

2. Use Skaffold to load configmap content (nginx-config) and bring up nginx app (service/nginx) in the inotify-example namespace:

   % skaffold dev  -n inotify-example
   

3. Edit the ConfigMap content, eithor by:

   % kubectl edit configmap nginx-config  -n inotify-example
   

   or by:

   % vi nginx-config.yml
