Hi All,

Ansible k8s module ( [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/k8s\_module.html#k8s-module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/k8s_module.html#k8s-module) ) have many environments like :

api\_key ---- K8S\_AUTH\_API\_KEY environment variable.  
cert\_file — K8S\_AUTH\_CERT\_FILE environment variable.  
context — K8S\_AUTH\_CONTEXT environment variable.  
host — K8S\_AUTH\_HOST environment variable.  
key\_file — K8S\_AUTH\_HOST environment variable.  
kubeconfig — K8S\_AUTH\_KUBECONFIG environment variable.  
password — K8S\_AUTH\_PASSWORD environment variable.  
ssl\_ca\_cert — K8S\_AUTH\_SSL\_CA\_CERT environment variable.  
username ---- K8S\_AUTH\_USERNAME environment variable.  
verify\_ssl ---- K8S\_AUTH\_VERIFY\_SSL environment variable.

Do any body use these environmental variables in the playbook ? Do have any example or sample playbook with one or many environment variable. I’m looking very specially for kubeconfig — K8S\_AUTH\_KUBECONFIG environment variable to use it in ansible playbooks ( and also in Ansible AWX )

Please help.

Yes, I've used K8S\_AUTH\_KUBECONFIG and K8S\_AUTH\_CONTEXT

K8S\_AUTH\_KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/another\_kube\_config ansible-playbook kubernetes.yml  
K8S\_AUTH\_CONTEXT=minikube ansible-playbook do\_something\_with\_minikube.yml

There was an issue with early 2.7 Ansible that you needed to set both variables but that was fixed with [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47496](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/47496) which seems to be in 2.7.1 according to git tag --contains
