Secrets

Secrets provides a centralised and secure way to store and manage your application's environment variables or what we call a Secret. It can be used anywhere in your application without exposing the secrets to outer environments.

There are 3 types of Secrets which can be stored in cosmocloud -

Database secrets typically include credentials such as -

• Database name

Authentication Secret

Authentication Secret is a secret used to connect to your external Authentication Provider - be it an SSO provider or your own self hosted Authentication Layer.
