 | Key | Type | Default | Description |
 |-----|------|---------|-------------|
 | environmentVariables | array | `nil` | List of variables/values to be defined for all the ranks. Values can be literals or references to Kuberetes secrets or configmaps.  See [values.yaml](values.yaml) for examples of supported syntaxes.  NOTE: The following standard [PyTorch Distributed environment variables](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/distributed.html#environment-variable-initialization) are set automatically and can be referenced in the commands without being set manually: WORLD_SIZE, RANK, MASTER_ADDR, MASTER_PORT. |
+| envFrom | array | `nil` | List of ConfigMaps or Secrets specifying environment variables.  See [values.yaml](values.yaml) for examples of supported syntaxes.  NOTE: the environmentVariables field takes precedence over envFrom. mlbatch also performs some automatic checks on the environmentVariables passed by the user, such as checking that the user does not specify NCCL_TOPO_FILE when topologyFileConfigMap is also provided.  These checks are *not* performed on any environment variables inherited from envFrom. |
 | sshGitCloneConfig | object | `nil` | Private GitHub clone support. See [values.yaml](values.yaml) for additional instructions. |
 | setupCommands | array | no custom commands are executed | List of custom commands to be ran at the beginning of the execution. Use `setupCommand` to clone code, download data, and change directories. |
 | mainProgram | string | `nil` | Name of the PyTorch program to be executed by `torchrun`. Please provide your program name here and NOT in "setupCommands" as this helm template provides the necessary "torchrun" arguments for the parallel execution. WARNING: this program is relative to the current path set by change-of-directory commands in "setupCommands". If no value is provided; then only `setupCommands` are executed and torchrun is elided. |
