No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

The default secrets provider uses the Pulumi service - and thus you must be logged in to the Pulumi service to add encrypted secrets. But you can use another secrets provider if you want (with different credentials) - like KMS, Vault, etc.
