## Advanced configuration through external ConfigMaps
Velero supports to configure its some advanced behaviors by external ConfigMaps.
Velero itself isn't responsible for creating and maintaining these ConfigMaps, instead the users should do that.
By far, `velero install` supports the following parameters to specify the external ConfigMap names:
* --backup-repository-configmap: [backup repository configuration document][15]
* --node-agent-configmap: [node-agent concurrency configuration document][16], and there are some other documents specify other parts of node-agent-config.
* --repo-maintenance-job-configmap: [repository maintenance configuration document][17]
From v1.17, Velero adds verification for the ConfigMaps in CLI and server side, which means `velero install` CLI will fail and velero server and node-agent pod will exit if the specified ConfigMaps don't exist or are invalid.
The change's aim is validating the ConfigMaps and fail early instead of finding the ConfigMaps are not valid during running data mover pod or repository maintenance job.
However, there means the user cannot just running `velero install` CLI then get a working environment, when the external ConfigMaps are involved.
The new workflow is:
* Create the needed namespace: `kubectl create ns velero`
* Add PSA labels to the namespace: `kubectl label ns velero pod-security.velero.io/enforce=privileged`
* Create the needed ConfigMaps.
* Run the `velero install` CLI:
``` bash
velero install \
--provider aws \
......
--backup-repository-configmap=... \
--node-agent-configmap=... \
--repo-maintenance-job-configmap=...
```
