Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products for credential management. An application deployment system receives a deployment manifest for deploying an application in a cloud computing environment. A deployment director of the application deployment system determines a resource to be used by the application. The deployment director determines, from the deployment manifest, an identifier, e.g., a name, of credentials for accessing the resource. The deployment director requests the credentials from a credential manager of the application deployment system. Upon receiving the credentials, the deployment director modifies the deployment manifest by replacing the identifier with the received credentials. The application deployment system deploys the application using the modified deployment manifest and then deletes the modified deployment manifest.
