Query Syntax

<variable-name>[::<arg>=<arg-val>, ...]

Retrieve a value from an environment variable.

The value is retrieved from a copy of the current environment variables that is saved to the context object. These environment variables are manipulated at runtime by Runway to fill in additional values such as DEPLOY_ENVIRONMENT and AWS_REGION to match the current execution.

If the Lookup is unable to find an environment variable matching the provided query, the default value is returned or a ValueError is raised if a default value was not provided.

New in version 2.7.0.
