- **Use AWS Secrets Manager**: Use AWS Secrets Manager, or other secrets management solution, so you don’t have to hardcode keys in plaintext. The application or client can then retrieve secrets when needed. For more information, see [What is AWS Secrets Manager?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/intro.html)

## Access Key Management :

- Never store your access key in plain text, in a code repository, or in code.
- Never check in the access key in the public repository.
- Disable or delete access key when no longer needed.
- Enable least-privilege permissions.
- Rotate access keys regularly.

## Resource Management:

- **Tagging:** Implement a consistent tagging strategy for resources in all linked accounts. This allows for better cost allocation, resource identification, and easier filtering when managing resources across multiple accounts. Follow [How to tag resources on AWS](https://docs.ciroh.org/docs/services/cloudservices/aws/tagging).
