How can I manage application secrets securely in a Dockerized Python environment?

For managing secrets in a Dockerized Python environment, avoid storing them in Dockerfiles or source code. Instead, use Docker secrets or environment variables for runtime configuration.

Alternatively, you can consider using a secrets management tool like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager. These tools provide secure storage and controlled access to secrets. Of course, ensure that secrets are encrypted in transit and at rest. Regularly rotate and audit access to these secrets to enhance security.
