 ## Other providers
 
-If you are managing configurations for additional services using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terragrunt, you may need to configure a provider for those services in Pipelines. In such cases, you must supply the necessary credentials for authenticating with the provider. Whenever possible, follow the same principles applied to AWS: use ephemeral credentials, grant only the minimum permissions required, and avoid storing long-lived credentials on disk.
