title: Storing SSH Key for Bamboo Deployments
body: <p>I've setup a Bamboo specs repository to store build and deployment plans. As part of the deployment plan, I'm using the SCP and SSH tasks to copy artifacts and execute commands on a remote server. What is the recommended way to store the SSH key?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I don't want to store it in the spec, because this would mean that I'm committing credentials to source control. </li>
  <li>If I upload the key using the UI, it gets removed when I update the plan in the specs repo.</li>
  <li>I could use a global variable (which I'm not entirely sure would work), but it seems global variables are available to all plans, which is a security risk.</li>
  </ul>
