 Kubernetes supports 2 primary modes of finding a Service - environment variables
 and DNS. The former works out of the box while the latter requires the
 [CoreDNS cluster addon](http://releases.k8s.io/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/cluster/addons/dns/coredns).
+{{< note >}}
+If the service environment variables are not desired (because possible clashing with expected program ones,
+too many variables to process, only using DNS, etc) you can disable this mode by setting the `enableServiceLinks` 
+flag to `false` on the [pod spec](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/{{< param "version" >}}/#pod-v1-core).
