Template inputs and secrets

Live

Understand which template values are required, which are sensitive, and how they affect rendering and upgrades.

Goal

Avoid misconfiguring a service by treating template inputs as throwaway form fields.

Current status

Live

This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

Workflow

  1. 1Review required inputs before starting deployment.
  2. 2Treat secret inputs differently from ordinary defaults.
  3. 3Expect future template upgrades to reuse saved inputs where possible.

Expected result

Template deployment inputs are supplied deliberately and with less surprise at upgrade time.
