 ### Environment variables
 
 When a Pod is run on a Node, the kubelet adds a set of environment variables
-for each active Service.  It supports both granular variables like `{SVCNAME}_PORT_{SVCPORT}_PROTO` and more (see [makeLinkVariables](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/dd2d12f6dc0e654c15d5db57a5f9f6ba61192726/pkg/kubelet/envvars/envvars.go#L72))

 For example, the Service `redis-master` which exposes TCP port 6379 and has been
 allocated cluster IP address 10.0.0.11, produces the following environment
