+## Configmap
+
+Create a configmap named `haproxy-ingress`:
+
+```console
+$ kubectl create configmap haproxy-ingress
+configmap "haproxy-ingress" created
+```
+
+A configmap is used to provide global or default configuration like
+timeouts, SSL/TLS settings, a syslog service endpoint and so on. The
+configmap can be edited or replaced later in order to apply new
+configuration on a running ingress controller. All supported options
+are [here](https://github.com/jcmoraisjr/haproxy-ingress#configmap).
