Sorry I missed your message. All container spec details are under administration → instance groups —\> create container group. As your container spec details there ---

Hi Weiye, My doubt is i want to have a execution env containers ‘/etc/hosts’ file patched with a hostname and ip address mapping entries, as my github is outside the network and node DNS not able to resolve the name. Is there is anyway i can customize the ee container spec? I am ready to create new execution env or i can patch the existing ee container. Thanks & Regards, Ankit Pandey ---

No, not able to do there, it creates new, projects are synced via EE, so that place doesn’t help me as it creates new container everytime. Please show one example how we can do… ---

Kindly look at this link. It tells you how to modify the spec based on customising the volume mounts. Customise the pod spec for your needs ---
