Using environment variables to configure endpoint behavior

Quick introduction to deployments

• Valohai deployments are primarily used for online inference

• All deployments are served from a Kubernetes cluster

• Each deployment can contain multiple versions, and each version can contain multiple HTTP endpoints

• For more details, see Core Concepts: Deployments

You have two ways to introduce environment variables into the deployment endpoint runtime:

• Inherit the project’s environment variables and secrets

• Define environment variables for a particular deployment version

Then you can read those values with the library of your choice e.g. os.getenv() in Python.
