How to specify secretEnv to cloudbuild.yaml via gcloud cli args or environment variables

If I follow the cloud build document, I have to specify encrypted secret on cloudbuild.yaml.

secrets:
- kmsKeyName: projects/[PROJECT-ID]/locations/global/keyRings/[KEYRING-NAME]/cryptoKeys/[KEY-NAME]
  secretEnv:
    MY_SECRET: <base64-encoded encrypted secret>

Even if it is encrypted, I don't commit secret value at code. Please tell me another way.

ex. via args from gcloud builds submit command or environment variables,...etc

You can use Google Secret Manager instead. We're still updating the documentation, but there is an example of how you can use it with Cloud Build:

First, create a secret:

$ echo -n "my-secret-data" | gcloud beta secrets create "my-api-key" \
    --replication-policy "automatic" \
    --data-file -

Grant the Cloud Build Service Account permission to access your secret:

$ gcloud beta secrets add-iam-policy-binding "my-api-key" \
    --member "serviceAccount:<project-number>@cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com" \
    --role "roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor"

Update (February 2021)

Then retrieve the secret in your build steps:

steps:
- name: 'my-step'
  args:
  - '--secret=$$MY_SECRET'
  secretEnv:
  - 'MY_SECRET'

availableSecrets:
  secretManager:
  - env: 'MY_SECRET'
    versionName: 'projects/my-project/secrets/my-secret/versions/latest'

Old answer (pre-February 2021)

Then retrieve the secret in your build steps:

steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud@sha256:c1dfa4702cae9416b28c45c9dcb7d48102043578d80bfdca57488f6179c2211b'
  entrypoint: 'bash'
  args:
  - '-c'
  - |
       gcloud beta secrets versions access --secret=my-api-key latest > /secrets/my-api-key
  volumes:
  - name: 'secrets'
    path: '/secrets'

- name: 'my-step'
  volumes:
  - name: 'secrets'
    path: '/secrets'
  args: # ... /secrets/my-api-key contains the secret
