 ### Kubernetes
 
-In Kubernetes, it's recommended to mount the secret to your pod as an environment variable, as shown in the example below, where a Kubernetes secret with the name `dapr-api-token` is used to hold the token.
+In Kubernetes, it's required to mount the API token on your application pod as an environment variable, when your application is making outbound calls to the Dapr APIs (Service Invocation invoke, Pub/sub publish, etc.), otherwise the request will fail with an `Unauthorized` error. Mounting the environment variable is done by providing the name of the Kubernetes secret in your application pod specification, as shown in the example below, where a Kubernetes secret with the name `dapr-api-token` is used to hold the token.
 
 ```yaml
 containers:
   - name: mycontainer
     image: myregistry/myapp
-    envFrom:
-    - secretRef:
