Overview of Configuration Metadata and Kubernetes Facilities
Configuration metadata lets you define the attributes of your TimesTen database and how that database is to interact with other applications and components. The TimesTen Operator supports several metadata files that contain the configuration metadata. Each metadata file has a specific name. You use a text editor to create the metadata file with the specific name and then add the appropriate metadata to it. For example, the TimesTen Operator supports the db.ini metadata file. You use your editor to create the db.ini file and in it you define attributes for you database.

Kubernetes supports various facilities that places the metadata files into the /ttconfig directory of the TimesTen containers. See Populate the /ttconfig Directory.
