Answer: Utilize a service to store API keys securely and provide application retrieval access., Store API keys in a managed service allowing application access for retrieval.
The correct answers are A and E. AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store (A) and AWS Secrets Manager (E) are both secure services for storing sensitive data such as API keys. They provide integrations that enable the application to retrieve these secrets securely at runtime. Using CloudFormation templates with base64 encoding (B) or environment variables (C) does not provide the same level of security. Embedding the API keys directly in the application (D) is not secure as it exposes the keys in the codebase.
