How would you securely manage secrets in Terraform? Any examples with Vault or AWS Secrets?
Securing secrets across environments in Terraform is essential for preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. Describe your approach to integrating secure secret management with Terraform. Could you provide examples of using tools like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager?

Security Best Practices
Hard Code Secrets: Never directly put the secret into Terraform files.
Sensitive Flag: Use the sensitive flag to hide outputs by setting it to true.
Secure State: State files to be stored securely using S3 with encryption.
This ensures that secrets handling by Terraform is secured.
