Is there a way to specify that the kubernetes agent should set certain environment variables (particularly from a kube secret) in the pods that it creates?

I tried starting it with the `-e` option but that didn't seem to transfer to the pods that it starts

Hey Matt. Did you sort this out? I'm having similar problems where I set the environment variables using --env but I can't seem to access them from within the flow running on a Kubernetes agent

I'm running my agent using  `prefect agent install kubernetes --api "<http://10.154.15.199:4200>" --rbac --resource-manager --env DB_HOST=10.104.145.11 --env CRUNCHBASE_API_KEY=XYZ | kubectl apply -f -`

Unfortunately I've moved away from this configuration method so I don't remember what I had to do to get it working, I think it was something related to the `PREFECT__` prefix on the environment variables

Hey Matt. Thanks for your response. I logged it with Chris W and he's applied a fix. :slightly_smiling_face:
