How to update environment variables of a Init Container using Azure CLI ?

Question

I'm using the "az container app update" command to update the environment variables of sidecar containers. However, I can't use the same command to update the environment variables of an Init Container. What is the solution?

Hello Yasitha Gunarathne

Thanks for your question.

To update this, I would recommend you define this in a YAML file. You can export current config

az containerapp show -n my-containerapp -g MyResourceGroup --output yaml 

Then proceed to edit as needed using on the yaml file you have defined above

az containerapp update -n my-containerapp -g MyResourceGroup  --yaml container.yaml
