Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? For Batch on EKS, how to use/inject/ref Kubernetes secrets for Batch EKS Jobs?

spec:
  containers:
    - envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: 

Currently, EKS Batch only supports these parameter https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/APIReference/API_EksContainer.html i.e I see an option to specify secret volume into the container https://docs.aws.amazon.com/batch/latest/APIReference/API_EksSecret.html but does not see an option to specify Kubernetes secret as an Env into the Batch EKS Jobs.

Are you currently working around this issue? I could not find any work around to specify Kubernetes secret as an Env into the Batch EKS Jobs

I have a similar issue with valueFrom inside of env. In a k8s YAML pod configuration I can simply inject a secret into an environment variable. The only way to inject secrets in an EKS job definition is with volumeMounts, which is inconvenient. EksPodProperties is too restrictive. It should accept all standard k8s options and apply them to the pod as is.

Yes, would be nice if this would not be restricted to secrets, I would like to set an env variable to something like

valueFrom:
  fieldRef:
    fieldPath: status.hostIP
