/// tip

If you already know what "environment variables" are and how to use them, feel free to skip this.

///

An environment variable (also known as "**env var**") is a variable that lives **outside** of the Python code, in the **operating system**, and could be read by your Python code (or by other programs as well).

تقریباً معادل اینه که تایپ کنی:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ C:\opt\custompython\bin\python
```

</div>

این اطلاعات وقتی در مورد [محیط‌های مجازی](virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank} یاد می‌گیری به‌دردت می‌خوره.

## نتیجه‌گیری

با این باید یه درک پایه‌ای از **متغیرهای محیطی** و نحوه استفاده‌شون توی پایتون داشته باشی.

When you work in Python projects you probably should use a **virtual environment** (or a similar mechanism) to isolate the packages you install for each project.

If you already know about virtual environments, how to create them and use them, you might want to skip this section. 🤓

/// tip

A **virtual environment** is different than an **environment variable**.

To understand environment variables you can read [Environment Variables](../environment-variables.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Types and validation { #types-and-validation }

These environment variables can only handle text strings, as they are external to Python and have to be compatible with other programs and the rest of the system (and even with different operating systems, as Linux, Windows, macOS).

about just retrofitting monolithic applications onto modern container based compute environment. A cloud-native application is portable and resilient by design, and can scale horizontally by simply replicating. Modern orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, DC/OS make replicating and managing containers in huge clusters easier than ever.

While containers provide isolated application execution environment, orchestration platforms allow seamless scaling by helping replicate and manage containers....

## Overview

MinIO supports two storage classes, Reduced Redundancy class and Standard class. These classes can be defined using environment variables
set before starting MinIO server. After the data and parity drives for each storage class are defined using environment variables,
you can set the storage class of an object via request metadata field `x-amz-storage-class`. MinIO server then honors the storage class by
