I don't know, putting secrets in a shared drive sounds like a great way to get them stolen. What could go wrong? *chuckles*

What is this, amateur hour? Clearly the correct answers are A, B, and C. Who even considers checking secrets into version control? *facepalm*

Hmm, I'd avoid the shared drive option (E) - that's just asking for trouble. Gotta keep those secrets locked down tight!

I agree, D and E are definitely not recommended. Vault and Terraform Cloud variables are the way to go for maximum security.

A, B, and C seem like the most secure options. Putting sensitive info in a version control system is a big no-no!

I also think using HCP Terraform/Terraform Cloud variables with the sensitive option checked is a good option.
