### Using subPath with expanded environment variables

{{< feature-state for_k8s_version="v1.11" state="alpha" >}}


Before you use this feature, you must enable the `VolumeSubpathEnvExpansion`feature gate.

In this example, a Pod uses `subPath` to create a directory `pod1` within the hostPath volume `/var/log/pods`, using the pod name from the Downward API. The host directory `/var/log/pods/pod1` is mounted at `/logs` in the container.

```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: pod1
spec:
containers:
- name: container1
env:
- name: POD_NAME
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
apiVersion: v1
fieldPath: metadata.name
image: busybox
command: [ "sh", "-c", "while [ true ]; do echo 'Hello'; sleep 10; done | tee -a /logs/hello.txt" ]
volumeMounts:
- name: workdir1
mountPath: /logs
subPath: $(POD_NAME)
restartPolicy: Never
volumes:
- name: workdir1
hostPath:
path: /var/log/pods
```
