Possible to terminate pod from Within the pod?
I know you can terminate pod from “outside” with runpodctl- but are there any options for a pod to self-terminate, triggered by its own docker image?
Or, am I approaching this wrong and ‘best practice’ is to have your pods giving status updates back to and being managed by a script on your main PC w/ runpodctl?

How is runpod secret / environment vars for credentials more secure?
I'm looking at the runpod Secret feature for handling AWS credentials. It looks like 'best practice' for handling credentials in a docker image is to set them as environment variables; and Runpod's "Secrets" feature feeds into that.
Could anyone explain how using runpod's "Secrets" is more secure than just passing environment variables? If the security concern is to avoid writing your credentials directly into the image and instead pass them on launch with env vars, how do "Secrets" do anything more? Is it a feature for handling credentials within a runpod account managed by a team?

'Background' options for Pod Initiated file transfer
I'm trying to scope out if there's a solution to have a runpod send me back a small .db/txt file on completion of task, or of progress before closing due to being outbid and closed (Community pods)
I've been looking at rsync, runpodctl, SSH, and they all seem to require transfer to be 'initiated' from the recipient machine
I'm looking at the google drive API, which I think is going to be my best bet for an 'always ready to receive' solution.
Anyone else already have experience working around something similar?

Getting data in/out of a community cloud pod
For Secure Cloud pods, you're able to dump to a Network Volume, and either manually download that or sync it out to a cloud provider
For community pods which don't have network volumes, what's the alternative solution? Is there any way to pipe it's content's directly to a cloud service?
Similarly, is there a way to have a community pod pull contents from a cloud service?

Network Volume Availability on Community Cloud?
From all I've read, it looks like Network Volumes are a feature exclusive to the Secure Cloud?
If that's the case, are the only options for having large files in a Community Cloud instance to rsync them in after the fact, or to bake it into the image from the start?
