Do CNAB bundles support the ability to specify where parameter and credential details might be fetched from?

Currently, we provide developers with lab environments that wire together a small subset of containers under Docker compose for local development because running the full system is impractical. However, most of our lab environments may have important external dependencies (i.e. Slack, SMTP gateways, etc) that require configuration and often secrets.

One challenge of maintaining these lab environments is keeping these external configuration details up to date, so it would be helpful if the CNAB spec allowed configuration of this sort to be provided by an external provider similar to how Docker images themselves are expected to be provided by a container registry.

Have you anticipated this use case? If so, does CNAB have this type of support?

Yes. See credential sets in the specification.

Thanks Gabe, this looks promising.
