   > Use case: We are attempting to use stateless NiFi in k8s to process data while providing a horizontally scaled approach. Some of our users' flows are using sensitive parameters, so we have to be able to support this in our implementation. @Dye357 is the project lead for the effort, and can give a more robust explanation if needed. I tested this with an SFTP processor using the secure environment variable parameter context, which worked successfully.
   
   Thanks for addressing the code comments and providing some background on the use case @slambrose, that is helpful.
   
   Have you or @Dye357 reviewed the [Parameter Value Provider](https://github.com/apache/nifi/tree/main/nifi-stateless/nifi-stateless-assembly#passing-parameters) implementations for NiFi Stateless? The Parameter Value Providers support the use case of supplying sensitive parameter values, which should make the proposed changes unnecessary. If there is some feature gap in the Parameter Value Providers, we should evaluate that for improvement, as opposed to introducing Parameter Providers, intended for traditional NiFi deployments.
