Environment Variables inside a Cronjob in Kubernetes

Question

I have a nodejs application that runs every week and fetches data from an external database. It has some environment variables. Can I run this as a Cronjob in Kubernetes and is it possible to define env variables and also source the env variable from secretfile in the cronjob ?

Answer 1

Ofcourse you can. Cron job specification is very similar to pod specification. You can define environment variables just the way we do for pods.
