CompTIA Cloud+ CV0-003 Practice Question
A developer is automating the deployment of resources in the cloud using a script. To comply with best practices for security, which approach should the developer use to handle credentials required by the script to authenticate with the cloud service provider's API?
Use a password vault to store credentials and access them dynamically when the script runs.
Retain the credentials within the script but encrypt them before storing.
Embed the password in a configuration file that the script can read from during execution.
Store the password in environment variables and retrieve it within the script at runtime.
