Use a Secret

To use secrets in your program, you link the secret value on the Kelvin Platform to an Environment variable in the app.yaml file. Then you can access it like any normal Environment variable in any language.

app.yamlPython

system:
    environment_vars:
        - name: demosecret
          value: <% secrets.demosecret %> # notice the secrets prefix

import os

demosecret = os.environ.get("demosecret", "error!")

print(f'Your secret is {demosecret}')
