Where are you going to store the password?
I'm not saying it's rocket science but it does take consideration. Do you store it in a plain text file on the server? How do you deal with CI/CD? Do you run a separate service for one credential?
- ThrashBeard 5y agoReally simple solutions. AWS itself has a Secrets Manager from which other authorized services can pull secrets. If it's an outside CI/CD platform then those usually also have a place to store credentials.
- nouveaux 5y agoI agree that this would be a good solution. I'm merely bringing up that it takes consideration. Also someone will need to learn the Secrets Manager and also learn credentials management for CI/CD. It's probably at least a day of work if you're not familiar with it. Don't get me wrong. I don't think anyone should skip this step. You need auth for your datastores.
