You know what would have gone a long way to stopping this? Not leaving credentials as env variables in containers. Vault is not that hard to stand up and utilize.

We need to bring shame back, the humans responsible are supposed to be professionals.



Why should that help to have no env variables?


There is no way you're seriously asking this right now


Env variables are considered best practice (factor 3): https://developer.ibm.com/articles/creating-a-12-factor-appl...

If I would avoid env then i need to put it in some kind of conf file and configure the app to read this file (e.g. mount into container). If I use a fault then i need some kind of credentials to receive the credentials.

So again what do I gain if I avoid env variables in containers?
