## Who holds the apply credential

For a Vault estate, the most useful question to ask of any runner is where Terraform runs and which credential it runs with.

| Tool | Model | Where Terraform runs | Apply credential | Audit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Nojam | Self-hosted binary on PostgreSQL | Podman containers on your runner hosts | A per-job, per-phase Vault credential, revoked at the end | Hash-chained, signed, streamed to your store |
| Atlantis | Self-hosted bot | On the Atlantis server | The server’s standing credentials | None; plans on disk |
| HCP Terraform | Hosted; Terraform Enterprise self-hosted | HashiCorp’s VMs, or agents you run | Workload identity, or static variables | Premium tier |
| Spacelift | Hosted; private workers | Spacelift’s containers or your worker pools | Short-lived cloud tokens by OIDC | Enterprise tier |
| env0 | Hosted | Runners | The credentials you supply | Listed as a feature; details not stated |
| StateGraph | Hosted, single-tenant or self-hosted | Your CI or a laptop | Your CI’s secret store | Attributed history, 30 or 365 days |
