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 and secret access keys. 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.
The type of environment variable. Valid values include:
PARAMETER_STORE: An environment variable stored in Systems Manager Parameter Store. To learn how to specify a parameter store environment variable, 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. To learn how to specify a secrets manager environment variable, see env/secrets-manager in the CodeBuild User Guide.
