Chapter 15. Environment Variables


This chapter provides information on API resources that allow a client to add and manage user defined application environment variables. The environment variables can be set when an application is created, when a cartridge is added to an application, or they can be added to an existing application. User defined environment variables are persistent and replicated through all application gears, including new gears added in scaling events.
The following table describes each parameter associated with OpenShift environment variables.
