  description: Creates a file with the content of the config
  configs:
    - type: Kubernetes::Pod
  actions:
    - name: Create the config file
      exec:
        script: echo -n '{{.config.config}}' > /tmp/{{.config.id}}
    - name: Delete the file
      delay: 'config.name.startsWith("actual") ? "1m" : "0s"'
      exec:
        script: rm /tmp/{{.config.id}}

This playbook saves the config of a Kubernetes::Pod to a temporary file. A delay is introduced before deleting that file. If the name of the pod beings with actual then the deletion is delayed by a minute, else it is deleted immediately.
