Example Concept: Use a cloud-native secret management service, such as AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or Google Cloud Secret Manager, to securely store, manage, and access secrets like API keys, passwords, and certificates. These services provide automatic rotation, fine-grained access control, and audit logging to enhance security and compliance. By integrating with IAM policies, you can enforce the principle of least privilege, ensuring that only authorized entities can access the secrets.
