Storing API keys in a Github repo? Nope, too risky! Let's go with Secret Manager, it's the most secure option.

I agree with Blondell. Storing the information in Secret Manager with IAM read permissions ensures that only authorized users can access the API keys.

I think option B is the best way to manage API keys. Secret Manager provides a secure and centralized way to store sensitive information.
