<p>I have a container type that I will need to intermittently add and delete from my cluster, but each different container instance will need a unique configuration in the form of environment variables.</p>
<p>What is the best way to structure this with Kubernetes? Should I have a separate workload for each container? Should I have one common workload and update the pod with new containers as needed?</p>
<p>The containers are isolated applications that don't have anything to do with their siblings.</p>

<p>If you want to do this you can use the jobs in kubernetes, if there is no use case of PVC or PV</p>
<p>For each different type create a new job with the different type of environment variables.</p>

<p>configure multiple jobs or deployment in which you can give different options of environment variables.</p>
