The type of environment variable. Valid values include:
-
PARAMETER_STORE: An environment variable stored in Systems Manager Parameter Store. For environment variables of this type, specify the name of the parameter as thevalueof the EnvironmentVariable. The parameter value will be substituted for the name at runtime. You can also define Parameter Store environment variables in the buildspec. To learn how to do so, see env/parameter-store in the CodeBuild User Guide. -
PLAINTEXT: An environment variable in plain text format. This is the default value. -
SECRETS_MANAGER: An environment variable stored in Secrets Manager. For environment variables of this type, specify the name of the secret as thevalueof the EnvironmentVariable. The secret value will be substituted for the name at runtime. You can also define Secrets Manager environment variables in the buildspec. To learn how to do so, see env/secrets-manager in the CodeBuild User Guide.
The value of the environment variable.
We strongly discourage the use of PLAINTEXT environment variables to store sensitive values, especially Amazon Web Services secret key IDs. PLAINTEXT environment variables can be displayed in plain text using the CodeBuild console and the CLI. For sensitive values, we recommend you use an environment variable of type PARAMETER_STORE or SECRETS_MANAGER.
