The CI Variable feature in 01Cloud’s CI/CD platform provides a secure and convenient way to manage sensitive or confidential data, such as credentials, API tokens, or other secrets, that are required by custom CI processes.
Functionality of CI variables in 01Cloud:
-
Secure Repository: CI Variables serve as a secure repository for storing sensitive data, such as credentials, API keys, and other secrets.
-
Environment Variables: CI Variables are made available to every task within the .01cloud folder repository as environment variables. This means that they can be easily accessed and utilized by CI/CD processes without exposing the actual values in the codebase.
-
Configuration: Users can configure CI Variables by specifying the Key (variable name) and its corresponding Value (credentials or secret). This allows for easy management and retrieval of sensitive information within CI/CD workflows.
-
Seamless Integration: CI Variables seamlessly integrate into CI/CD workflows, providing a flexible and secure way to incorporate sensitive data into custom processes and scripts.
