## Container environment
|
||||
|
||||
The Kubernetes Container environment provides several important resources to Containers:
|
||||
|
||||
* A filesystem, which is a combination of an [image](/docs/concepts/containers/images/) and one or more [volumes](/docs/concepts/storage/volumes/).
|
||||
* Information about the Container itself.
|
||||
* Information about other objects in the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
### Container information
|
||||
|
||||
The *hostname* of a Container is the name of the Pod in which the Container is running.
|
||||
It is available through the `hostname` command or the
|
||||
[`gethostname`](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/gethostname.2.html)
|
||||
function call in libc.
|
||||
|
||||
The Pod name and namespace are available as environment variables through the
|
||||
[downward API](/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/downward-api-volume-expose-pod-information/).
|
||||
|
||||
User defined environment variables from the Pod definition are also available to the Container,
|
||||
as are any environment variables specified statically in the Docker image.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cluster information
|
||||
|
||||
A list of all services that were running when a Container was created is available to that Container as environment variables.
|
||||
Those environment variables match the syntax of Docker links.
|
||||
|
||||
For a service named *foo* that maps to a Container named *bar*,
|
||||
the following variables are defined:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
FOO_SERVICE_HOST=<the host the service is running on>
|
||||
FOO_SERVICE_PORT=<the port the service is running on>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Services have dedicated IP addresses and are available to the Container via DNS,
|
||||
if [DNS addon](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/dns/) is enabled.
