Description

As recently experienced, having a bus factor of 1 for critical items like secrets can become a huge blocker for even the most basic of tasks. Given the occasionally transient nature of contributors, we want to make things simple to use and secure.

We need a secrets management solution that:

  1. Allows OpCode users and contributors to easily retrieve secrets they are authorized access to.
  2. Facilitates automation so that deployments and other system operations can be abstracted so an individual access isn't required to keep things moving forward.
  3. Allows revocation of access to secrets.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by defining and comparing a secrets-management approach against the three stated requirements, then document the chosen design, access and revocation flows, and how automation will operate without individual access.
