Format Details
ENV
ENV files store environment variable definitions used to configure software applications, services, and deployment pipelines across different environments. They contain simple key-value pairs in the format KEY=VALUE and are a cornerstone of twelve-factor app development and containerized deployments with Docker and Kubernetes. ENV files are typically excluded from version control to protect sensitive configuration data such as API keys and database credentials.
YAML
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization format designed to be more readable than JSON or XML for configuration files and structured data. It uses indentation and minimal punctuation to represent nested data structures, sequences, and mappings in a way that closely resembles natural language. YAML is the native configuration format for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and countless other modern developer tools.
