Feature request: Pass on accountSid, apiKey and apiSecret as command line parameters

[Alexander W. Janssen]

We're struggling to find a proper way in how to deploy using Azure pipelines and the recommendations from Support we got were mostly non-feasible to use (such as Teraform, Jenkins, Pulumi etc), hence a simple feature request which would solve our problems and can probably be implemented easy.

Feature: Pass on accountSid, apiKey and apiSecret as command line parameters

  Background: I want to deploy Twlilio artificats and configure Twilio using
    an Azure DevOps Pipeline. All my secrets are stored in Azure Keyvault. However,
    twilio-cli expects all secrets to be present in config.json. I do not want
    to commit them to git just for the sake of deployment. I'd rather start
    twilio-cli with the secrets as a command line parameter, and I'd extract the
    secrets from Azure KeyVault.

  User Story:
    As a deploymenet engineer using twilio-cli
    I want to be able to pass on accountSid, apiKey and apiSecret as command line parameters
    So that I do not need to commit secrets to git
    And to meet internal security requirements

Hey @yalla , Thanks for reaching out. seeing the concern is I do not want to commit them to git just for the sake of deployment. Have you tried creating the profile in the DevOps environment. You could create a new profile using the command twilio login [account-sid] -p [profile_id] --auth-token [auth-token] this should help you to create the profile with profile-id . You can follow this doc. Below are all the flag/arg available.

ARGUMENTS
