Hello In this lecture we will see how to set an environment variable in Kubernetes. Given a pod



2

00:00:14,300 --> 00:00:17,950

definition file which uses the same image as the dockor command.



3

00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:26,330

We ran in the last lecture to set an environment variable, use the ENV property. ENV is an array. So every



4

00:00:26,330 --> 00:00:31,360

item under the env property starts with a dash, indicating an item in the array.



5

00:00:31,610 --> 00:00:34,730

Each item has a name and a value property.



6

00:00:34,730 --> 00:00:40,190

The name is the name of the environment variable made available with the container and the value is



7

00:00:40,190 --> 00:00:41,720

its value.



8

00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:47,900

What we just saw was a direct way of specifying the environment variables using a plain key value pair



9

00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:49,070

format.



10

00:00:49,070 --> 00:00:56,230

However there are other ways of setting the environment variables such as using config maps and secrets.



11

00:00:56,270 --> 00:01:04,160

The difference in this case is that instead of specifying value, we say valueFrom. And then a specification



12

00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,420

of configMap or secret.



13

00:01:06,590 --> 00:01:11,850

We will discuss about configMaps and secretKeys in the upcoming lectures.



14

00:01:11,870 --> 00:01:14,810

That's it for this lecture and I will see you in the next.
