Create a secret

Credentials can store sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, SSH keys, etc., making the stored data more secure, flexible, and free from exposure in images or Pod specs.

You can use the created credentials to bind with DevOps toolchains in your project, and directly use the DevOps toolchains for development iterations during the project development process, without worrying about account passwords and other issues.

Create a Secret to store sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, SSH keys, and other DevOps tools’ credentials. The platform will then access the tools based on the permissions associated with the Secret. For example, if a Secret that used to integrate a tool can only be used to access project A in GitLab, then after A is allocated to platform project A’, project members can only manage code and create pipelines in DevOps for project A in GitLab.
