Research direction
Start with the Kubernetes Deployment and Service manifests and the container behavior described in the issue. Investigate how Kubernetes exposes Service-related environment variables to pods, then check whether the repository documents or controls this behavior. Done means the source is explained and any needed documentation or code change is identified.

Description
I've got a simple blue/green Kubernetes deployment using this container as described below:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: green-app
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: green-app
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: green-app
spec:
containers:
- name: http-https-echo
image: mendhak/http-https-echo
ports:
- containerPort: 8080
env:
- name: ECHO_INCLUDE_ENV_VARS
value: "1"
- name: APP_COLOR
value: "GREEN"
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: green-app
spec:
selector:
app: green-app
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 8080
---
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: blue-app
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: blue-app
template:

labels:
app: blue-app
spec:
containers:
- name: http-https-echo
image: mendhak/http-https-echo
ports:

env:

- name: APP_COLOR
value: "BLUE"

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: blue-app
spec:
selector:
app: blue-app
ports:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: color-ingress
annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /
spec:
ingressClassName: nginx
# tls:
# - hosts:
# - '*.com'
rules:
- http:
paths:
- path: /green
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: green-app
port:
number: 80
- path: /blue
pathType: Prefix
backend:
service:
name: blue-app
port:
number: 80
Everything spins up and the /blue and /green endpoints work as they should.
But inside the blue are all of these environment variables referencing the green app (and vice versa)
/app $ env

/app $
How can a simple pod that only has 2 environment variables defined (APP_COLOR and ECHO_INCLUDE_ENV_VARS) pickup all of these other variables? Where are they coming from!??!
