PK-Docs 1.0: How-To Guides Development Epic #80
Description
Goals and Objectives
Objective: Develop a comprehensive set of How-To Guides that enable users to leverage Polykey’s features in diverse real-world scenarios. The guides will be designed to be tool-agnostic where possible, emphasizing the application of Polykey as a whole rather than focusing separately on CLI or Core Library functionalities.
Got it, the focus will be on creating a unified set of How-To Guides for Polykey that encompass various real-world use cases involving both the Polykey-CLI and Polykey-Core Library, without segmenting them by the specific tool. This approach ensures the guides are broadly applicable and accessible, providing valuable insights into using Polykey across different scenarios.
Specific Goals:
- Comprehensive Coverage: Cover a broad range of scenarios that reflect the diverse applications of Polykey in various operational and development environments.
- User-Centric Content: Ensure each guide addresses specific user needs and enhances their ability to utilize Polykey effectively.
- Actionable Guidance: Provide clear, practical steps that users can follow to achieve specific outcomes.
- Adaptability and Flexibility: While focusing on specific tasks, allow for adaptations that users might need to make in different environments or with slightly different setups.
Potential Topics and Evaluation for How-To Guides
This section will list potential topics for the How-To Guides, which will be evaluated based on user demand, relevance, and technical feasibility. This dynamic list will be updated as new needs are identified and as Polykey evolves.
Topics Under Consideration:
- 1. Securing Development Environments: How to securely manage secrets in development environments using Polykey.
- 2. Automating Secret Management in CI/CD Pipelines: Integrating Polykey to manage secrets in CI/CD workflows effectively.
- 3. Service Deployment with Cloud Services: Using Polykey to handle secrets in cloud service deployments (e.g., AWS ECS, Kubernetes).
- 4. Employee Lifecycle Management: Managing secrets access as employees onboard and offboard.
- 5. Integrating Polykey with Enterprise Systems: How to use Polykey with existing enterprise systems for centralized secrets management.
- 6. Cryptographic Key Rotation and Management: Best practices for managing and rotating cryptographic keys in Polykey.
- 7. Using Polykey in Microservices Architectures: Managing secrets in a microservices architecture with Polykey.
Confirmed Topics

Specifications for Implementation
Once a topic is approved based on its evaluation:
- Guide Development Plan: Outline the objectives, structure, and content of the guide, including any necessary technical examples or diagrams.
Linking and Tracking
- Sub-Issues for Each Guide: Create detailed sub-issues for the development of each How-To Guide once it is approved. These sub-issues will facilitate focused development and allow for detailed tracking and management.
