Integrations

Integrations are the foundation of InfraKitchen's connectivity to external systems. They securely store credentials and configuration needed to interact with cloud providers, Git repositories, and authentication systems.

🎯 What are Integrations?

An Integration in InfraKitchen is a secure record that contains:

  • Connection details (URLs, endpoints, account IDs)
  • Authentication credentials (API keys, tokens, OAuth credentials)
  • Configuration settings (regions, scopes, permissions)

All credentials are encrypted at rest and decrypted only when needed for operations.

🔍 Integration Properties

All integrations share common properties:

Property Description Required
Name Human-readable identifier ✅
Type Cloud/Git/Auth provider ✅
Provider Specific provider (AWS, GitHub, etc.) ✅
Configuration Provider-specific settings ✅
Description Purpose and usage notes ❌
