Secrets And Config

Secrets and configuration control provider access, service-to-service authorization, and workspace integrations.

Operator Workflow​

  • Store sensitive values in the approved secret store, not in docs or code examples.
  • Rotate credentials when access changes.
  • Verify config changes through behavior, not by exposing values.

Verification Gates​

Verification gates: define the affected scope, run the relevant build or validation checks, perform the smallest appropriate deploy or config action, and verify the live user-facing or API behavior that changed.

For high-risk work, also prepare a rollback or follow-up plan before touching production.

Evidence To Capture​

  • Target environment and affected service, docs surface, API group, workspace, artifact, or operation.
  • Validation command or manual check performed.
  • Live route, API response, screenshot, or operation timeline proving the result.
  • Follow-up needed if verification is incomplete.

Media To Add​

  • Diagram: config category to owner, storage location, rotation trigger, and verification path. It helps admins manage sensitive settings safely. Source: operations checklist.
