+
+Defining Environment Variable Values via Files.
+To use this feature, ensure your Kubernetes version v1.34 or later
+with the EnvFiles feature gate enabled.
+
+<!-- steps -->
+
+## Using Files to Define Environment Variables for Containers in a Pod
+
+In this exercise, you'll create a Pod that sources environment variables from files, 
+projecting these values into the running container.
+
+{{% code_sample file="pods/inject/ddapi-envars-file-container.yaml" %}}
+
+In this manifest, you can see:
+
+An initContainer mounts an emptyDir volume and writes environment variables to a file within it.
+
+The main container references this file through valueFrom.fileKeyRef without mounting the volume.
+
+The kubelet automatically projects the values from the file into the container's environment.
+
+{{< note >}}
+Note: All container types (initContainers, main containers, sidecars,
+ and ephemeral containers) support environment variable loading from files.
+{{< /note >}}
+
+Create the Pod:
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f https://k8s.io/examples/pods/inject/dapi-envars-file-container.yaml
+```
+
+Verify that the container in the Pod is running:
+
+```shell
+# If the new Pod isn't yet healthy, rerun this command a few times.
+kubectl get pods
+```
+
+Check container logs for environment variables:
+
+```shell
+kubectl logs dapi-test-static-pod -c use-envfile | grep CONFIG_MAIN
+```
+
+The output shows the values of selected environment variables:
+
+```
+CONFIG_MAIN=CONFIG_INIT
+```

+* Read [Defining Environment Variables for a Container](/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-environment-variable-container/)
+* Read the [`spec`](/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/pod-v1/#PodSpec)
+  API definition for Pod. This includes the definition of Container (part of Pod).
+* Read the list of [available fields](/docs/concepts/workloads/pods/downward-api/#available-fields) that you
+  can expose using the downward API.
+
+Read about Pods, containers and environment variables in the legacy API reference:
