Overview

Secrets are used to manage confidential information that are used by tools running in VSCode, or services like Airflow.

Some uses could be: - Storing Airbyte connections credentials using dbt-coves extract and dbt-coves load commands. - Storing Airflow connections or variables used by Airflow DAGs

Secrets Listing

On the Secrets landing page you can see a list of secrets defined for your Datacoves account. Each secret belongs to a project, has a name, tags, and an author.

Sharing secrets

When a new secret is created, it can be shared across the entire project, or shared with just one environment. It could also be treated as a personal secret when it's shared with no environment/project. In such case, only the author can retrieve it's value.

Secrets store

Secrets could be stored encrypted on the Datacoves database, or use a third party service, such as Amazon Secrets Manager, among others.
