Secrets

App Secrets are key-value pairs that are passed to the Spice Runtime instance as environment secrets. Secrets are securely encrypted and accessible only through the app in which they were created.

Once a secret is saved, its value cannot be retrieved through Spice Cloud. If you need to update the secret value, you must delete the existing secret and create a new one.

Create a new secret

1. Select your app.

2. Navigate to Settings tab and select Secrets section.

3. Fill Secret Name and Secret Value fields and click Add.

1. Saved secrets can be referenced in the Spicepod configuration as ${secrets::<SECRET_NAME>}, for example:

models:   
  - from: openai:gpt-4o
    name: gpt-4o
    params:
      openai_api_key: ${secrets:OPENAI_API_KEY}

1. To apply secrets, you must initiate a new spicepod deployment. Learn more about deployments.
