=== Example: using the envTemplate tag policy :icons: font

This example reuses the image name and uses an environment variable FOO to tag the image. The way you configure it in skaffold.yaml is the following build stanza:

[source,yaml]

build: artifacts: - image: gcr.io/k8s-skaffold/skaffold-example tagPolicy: # <1> envTemplate: # <1> template: "{{.IMAGE_NAME}}:{{.FOO}}" # <2>

<1> define tagPolicy to be envTemplate <2> use https://golang.org/pkg/text/template[go templates] syntax

The IMAGE_NAME variable is built-in and reuses the value defined in the artifacts' image.
