Cloud Credentials
Cloud credentials are authentication material used to establish an identity with a cloud provider. They can include temporary tokens, access keys, or federated assertions; authorization policies separately determine what that identity can do.
Why it matters
Credential duration and scope determine the impact of accidental exposure during a build.
Practical example
Prefer short-lived credentials acquired during a job to long-lived keys stored in repository secrets.
