env property

Immutable. List of environment variables to set in the container. After the container starts running, code running in the container can read these environment variables.

Additionally, the command and args fields can reference these variables. Later entries in this list can also reference earlier entries. For example, the following example sets the variable VAR_2 to have the value foo bar:

[
  {
    "name": "VAR_1",
    "value": "foo"
  },
  {
    "name": "VAR_2",
    "value": "$(VAR_1) bar"
  }
]

If you switch the order of the variables in the example, then the expansion does not occur.

This field corresponds to the env field of the Kubernetes Containers v1 core API.
