-# Using Contexts:
-#   some jobs depend on secrets like API tokens to work correctly such as publishing to docker hub
-#   or reporting issues to GitHub. All such tokens are stored in CircleCI contexts (https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/contexts).
-#   
-#   All tokens stored in a contexts are injected into a job as environment variables IF the pipeline that runs the job
-#   explicitly enables the context for the job. 
-#
-#   Contexts are protected with security groups. Jobs that use contexts will not run for commits from people who are not
-#   part of the approved security groups for the given context. This means that contributors who are not part of the
-#   OpenTelemetry GitHub organisation will not be able to run jobs that depend on contexts. As a result, PR pipelines
-#   should never depend on any contexts and never use any tokens/secrets.
-#
-#   This CI pipeline uses two contexts:
-#      - github-release-and-issues-api-token
-#        This context makes GITHUB_TOKEN available to jobs. Jobs can use the token to authenticate with the GitHub API.
-#        We use this to report failures as issues back to the GitHub project.
-#        Any member of the OpenTelemetry GitHub organisation can run jobs that require this context e.g, loadtest-with-github-reports.
-#        
-#      - dockerhub-token
-#        This contexts makes DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME and DOCKER_HUB_PASSWORD environment variables available to the jobs.
-#        This is used to publish docker images to Docker Hub.
-#        Only project approvers and maintainers can run jobs that depend on this context such e.g, publish-stable.
