- If you need help, contact our team and we will do our best to help you move over to our platform. You can drop us questions on slack.
- How will my secrets be stored?
- We try to store as fewer secrets as possible every step of the way. For the actual storage we use highly secure AWS managed service (AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store). When you use application secrets they are stored on your account and they are never accessible from digger.
- What is the difference between secrets and env vars?
- Secrets contain sensitive information, like passwords, that cannot be accessed easily and usually require infrastructure to read, store and manage them.
- Environment variables are values that processes like containers, web service, scripts etc. access to control their own behaviour. They are accessible to anyone and anything that also have access to those processes, meaning that they aren’t secure. Don’t pass sensitive information via environment variables, use secrets instead.

- Can we do multiple account connection with digger?
- Yes, you can create as many account connections as you wish.
- What is the difference between 2 ways of connection AWS account?
- Our default option for connecting your AWS account to our platform is to use the keyless connection which will allow us to deploy resources on your AWS account without handling any sensitive data related to your account.
- The option to connect using AWS keys is our legacy option. It allows you to connect your AWS account using using keys, which are later stored as secrets on your account. Since this option is legacy at this point, we cannot guarantee for how long we will support this option
