+#### Kubernetes provider
+
+If your application runs on Kubernetes and you use the Azure App Configuration Kubernetes Provider, the audience configuration depends on how the provider is installed.
+
+- **AKS extension**: No audience configuration is needed. The extension automatically determines the audience based on the cloud where it runs.
+- **Helm chart**: The audience can be configured at installation time by setting the `env.azureAppConfigurationAudience` parameter. Use version **2.6.0** or later of the [Azure App Configuration Kubernetes Provider](./quickstart-azure-kubernetes-service.md) to configure the audience.
+
+The following command demonstrates how to install the Azure App Configuration Kubernetes Provider via Helm with a cloud-specific audience.
+
+```console
+helm install azureappconfiguration.kubernetesprovider \
+    oci://mcr.microsoft.com/azure-app-configuration/helmchart/kubernetes-provider \
+    --namespace azappconfig-system \
+    --create-namespace \
+    --set env.azureAppConfigurationAudience="{Cloud specific audience here}"
+```

+### Snapshot reference
+
+A snapshot reference is a configuration setting that references a snapshot in the same App Configuration store. When loaded, the provider resolves it and adds all key-values from that snapshot. Using snapshot references enables switching between snapshots at runtime, unlike adding a snapshot selector, which requires code changes and/or restarts to switch to a new snapshot.
+
+For more information about creating a snapshot reference, go to [snapshot reference concept](./concept-snapshot-references.md).
+
+> [!NOTE] 
+> To use snapshot references, use the version *2.6.0* or later of Azure App Configuration Kubernetes provider.
