my go to strategy for managing secrets in cloud environments is to use a dedicated secrets manager like hashicorp vault

hey folks, i'm wrestling with secrets management in a multi-cloud setup (aws, gcp, azure). storing api keys, database credentials, and certificates securely is a constant headache. we're currently using a mix of environment variables and some basic vaulting, but it feels ad-hoc. what are your favorite tools or patterns for this? are you using dedicated secret managers like hashicorp vault, aws secrets manager, or something else entirely? any tips on rotation, access control, and auditing would be super helpful. curious to hear what works for you in production
