I have 2 pods in the aks and first pod is consuming services from second pod. to establish the connection, i need to set env variable. I want to know where to define those env variable in helm
In deployment.yaml
at the path spec.template.spec.containers
It goes something like this
...
spec:
containers:
- name: {{ .Chart.Name }}
image: "{{ .Values.image.repository }}:{{ .Values.image.tag }}"
imagePullPolicy: {{ .Values.image.pullPolicy }}
env:
- name: JPDA_ADDRESS
value: '*:8000'
...
So, once you run the above, if you do kubectl exec my-pod -c my-container -- "echo $JPDA_ADDRESS"
, it will print *:8000
It is important to understand, that Helm simply manages templates for Kubernetes objects. Helm's deployment.yaml
produces a YAML spec for Kube object of kind: Deployment
. So, if you want to know every possible field you can specify in deployment.yaml, you can run kubectl explain deployment --recursive
anywhere you have kubectl
running.
