<!-- When adding new rows, run the following command to sort the resulting sub-table in alphabetical order:

cd test/e2e/docs
head -n 38 environment_variables.md | tail +33 | sort --field-separator=\| --key=1

Adjust the value of `head -n <x>` to be the last row of the table to be sorted.
Adjust the value of `tail +x` to be the first row of the table to be sorted.

eg. head -n 28 environment_variables.md | tail +27 | sort --field-separator=\| --key=1

-> sorts from row 27 to 28.
