Abstract
A containerized application is initialized in a cloud-based computing environment. Thereafter, the containerized application obtains environment variables encapsulating credentials. The containerized application stores the environment variables in a secret store of the containerized application. The environment variables are later wiped upon completion of the storing of the environment variables. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- initializing, in a cloud-based computing environment, a containerized application;
- obtaining, by the containerized application, environment variables encapsulating credentials;
- storing, by the containerized application, the environment variables in a secret store of the containerized application;
- and
- wiping the environment variables upon completion of the storing of the environment variables.
A system comprising:
- at least one data processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one data processor, implements operations comprising:
- initializing a containerized application;
- obtaining, by the containerized application, environment variables encapsulating credentials;
- storing, by the containerized application, the environment variables in a secret store of the containerized application;
- and
- wiping the environment variables upon completion of the storing of the environment variables.
A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions which, when executed by at least one computing device, implements operations comprising:
- initializing a containerized application;
- obtaining, by the containerized application, environment variables encapsulating credentials;
- storing, by the containerized application, the environment variables in a secret store of the containerized application;
- and
- wiping the environment variables upon completion of the storing of the environment variables.
