Question

Hi For Kubernetes agent is there a way to set environment variables in the Kubernetes jobs that are spun up by prefect agent pod

Shaoyi Zhang · Answer

I m referring to storing secrets as environment variables so we d like to avoid using the env vars parameter in run config

Shaoyi Zhang · Answer

Technically we can use Prefect secret but wondering if it s possible to specify env vars for Kuberentes jobs in Kubernetes configs helm chart

Kevin Kho · Answer

On the agent when you do the `install` you can use the ` env` flag This will add the env var to the flows spun by the agent

Kevin Kho · Answer

But I honestly think PrefectSecret is easier to deal with

Thank you I ll give it a shot

confirmed it works ```prefect agent kubernetes install env myenv= 22 ``` will introduce a new environment variable `PREFECT CLOUD AGENT ENV VARS` and you can add the env vars you d like to see in Kubernetes Jobs as a JSON file
