Expert answer
Production secrets belong in a dedicated secrets manager or vault with access controlled by IAM policy, audit-logged, and rotated on schedule or on personnel change. Confirm that secrets never live in source code or configuration files, that CI enforces this with automated secret scanning, and that applications receive credentials at runtime rather than at build time.
