I want my build to use a different AWS access key from my application (during runtime)

would it be possible for you to have two service variables set, something like AWS_KEY_BUILD and AWS_KEY_RUNTIME and have your build only use the environment variable thats designated for build then during runtime it would use the variable designated for runtime?

i would also love to hear what the underlying usecase is here!

Access to code artifact is necessary for the build, but not runtime

#

The solution you provided might work

you are the second person to ask for a way to separate build and runtime variables today, so the team has their eyes on this.
and thanks for sharing your use case!
