Example Concept: In a cloud-native environment, secrets management is typically handled by using dedicated secret management tools such as HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, or Kubernetes Secrets. These tools provide secure storage, access control policies, and audit logging. Best practices include encrypting secrets at rest and in transit, using role-based access control (RBAC) to limit access, regularly rotating secrets, and integrating secret management with CI/CD pipelines to automate the retrieval and usage of secrets during deployments.
