Description

It would be nice for use in Kubernetes, OpenShift, and other cloud-based environments if the user had the option of setting hyperparameters via env vars rather than having to create and mount a ConfigMap for the yaml file, alter the image, or create a custom entrypoint script.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the YAML configuration is loaded and how hyperparameters enter the Python application. Check the Kubernetes and OpenShift deployment context before deciding how environment values should relate to the existing configuration path. Done means users can set hyperparameters through environment variables without mounting a ConfigMap, altering the image, or creating a custom entrypoint script.
