Provide certificate file into pod in k8s-CodePudding

We a pod which needs certificate file We need to provide a path to a certificate file, (we have this certificate) how should we put this certificate file into k8s that the pod will have an access to it e.g. that we were able to provide it like the following to the pod "/path/to/certificate_authority.crt” Should we use secret/ configmap, if yes than how?
