8.38CI/CD and secrets

Typical deployment:

GitHub
   ↓
CI pipeline
   ↓
build Mule artifact
   ↓
deployment job
   ↓
CloudHub

Secrets can be stored in the CI/CD or platform secret mechanisms and injected only during deployment.

Conceptually:

source code
      ↓
build
      ↓
artifact
      +
runtime secrets
      ↓
deployment

The build artifact doesn't need plaintext production secrets baked into it.
