8. Agent Credential Provisioning Agent credential provisioning refers to the runtime issuance, renewal, lifecycle state and rotation of the credentials an agent uses to authenticate and authorize itself to other agents. Agents may be provisioned with one or more credential types as described in Section 7. Unlike static secrets, agent credentials are provisioned dynamically and are intentionally short-lived, eliminating the operational burden of manual expiration management and reducing the impact of credential compromise.¶ Credential provisioning is also the assessment point to confirm that the Agent and its runtime environment satisfy the posture requirements.
