We strongly discourage the use of <code>PLAINTEXT</code> environment variables to store sensitive values,
especially Amazon Web Services secret key IDs. <code>PLAINTEXT</code> environment variables can be displayed in
plain text using the CodeBuild console and the CLI. For sensitive values, we recommend you use an environment
variable of type <code>PARAMETER_STORE</code> or <code>SECRETS_MANAGER</code>.
