Secrets and providers

Метки: buildbot

Buildbot implements several providers for secrets retrieval:

• File system based: secrets are written in a file. This is a simple solution for example when secrets are managed by config management system like Ansible Vault.
• Third party backend based: secrets are stored by a specialized software. These solution are usually more secured.

Secrets providers are configured if needed in the master configuration. Multiple providers can be configured at once. The secret manager is a Buildbot service. The secret manager returns the specific provider results related to the providers registered in the configuration.
