 | `KUBERNETES_VERSION`        | Desired Kubernetes version to test. You can pass in a definitive released version, e.g., "v1.24.0". If you want to use pre-released CI bits of a particular release you may use the "latest-" prefix, e.g., "latest-1.24"; you may use the very latest built CI bits from the kubernetes/kubernetes master branch by passing in "latest". If you provide a `KUBERNETES_VERSION` environment variable, you may not also use `CI_VERSION` (below). Use only one configuration variable to declare the version of Kubernetes to test. |
 | `CI_VERSION`                | Provide a custom CI version of Kubernetes (e.g., `v1.25.0-alpha.0.597+aa49dffc7f24dc`). If not specified, this will be determined from the KUBERNETES_VERSION above if it is an unreleased version. If you provide a `CI_VERSION` environment variable, you may not also use `KUBERNETES_VERSION` (above).                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
