The user has outlined two critical use cases related to credential and environment security management that warrant review:
1. Credential Rotation
Context: The user requires periodic credential (API key) rotation in accordance with security best practices.
Current Limitation: At present, rotating credentials results in service downtime until all systems are updated with the new credentials.
Impact: This downtime is operationally unacceptable, as it may disrupt business-critical services.
Requested Enhancement: Introduction of a mechanism that allows for a smooth transition between old and new credentials—enabling both to remain valid temporarily during the rotation process to prevent downtime.
2. Environmental Security:
Context: The user maintains multiple environments, including development, staging, and production.
Current Limitation: A single shared credential is being used across all environments.
Impact: This presents a potential security vulnerability, as exposure of credentials in a lower environment could compromise production systems.
Requested Enhancement: Implementation of environment-specific credentials to ensure proper isolation and adherence to standard security protocols.
Kindly confirm whether these improvements are already part of our development roadmap or if a new feature request should be initiated for further evaluation.
