Environment variables

As an alternative way to pass commonly used or globally used Akamai key-value pairs, you can set up and use environment variables with your Terraform configurations.

We support environment variables for credentials, body size, request limits, and global retries.

When using multiple API clients, add in the section header in all caps after AKAMAI_. For example, if you've got a papi section in your .edgerc file, you'd add in PAPI.

To use environment variables, format your statement with the export command followed by the variable and value as the argument.

// string
$ export <variable>="value" 

// integer
$ export <variable>=n-value
