Select the Purpose of the Platform Secret (Packages)

< General Details

You may come across the scenario where the configuration inside the package needs to interact with an external service, and that service requires a generic purpose secret for access.

Example scenarios where this may be applicable:

  • Your certificate manager package needs authentication to access the Certificate Authority (CA) server to issue or renew certificates
  • Your monitoring agent may need an API key to identify itself to your monitoring solution
