If you use the SAAS version of Codefresh, then you don't have any control of cache policies.

The SAAS version is fully controlled by Codefresh personnel and the cache policies in place might clear cachesmoresooner than you think.

The SAAS version is fully controlled by Codefresh personnel and the cache policies in place might clear caches sooner than you think.

If you run a pipeline very infrequently it is possible to suffer many cache misses. If you also use obscure Docker images you might see them downloaded again and again.

You can createtwo types of shared configuration:

You can createfour types of shared configuration:

* Shared Configuration/ Shared Secret

* yaml/ secret yaml

The shared configuration is for environment variables. The secret variant is the same thing but with encrypted values for sensitive data (such as access tokens).

The shared yaml is for Helm value or any other generic information. The secret yaml encrypts the contents.

***Shared Configuration**: for environment variables

***Shared Secret**: for encrypted environment variables of sensitive data (access tokens, etc.)

***YAML**: for Helm values or any other generic information

***Secret YAML**: for above, but encrypts the contents

You can create as many shared snippets as you want (with unique names).
