Why each option
Environment variables are a standard practice for managing configuration settings in cloud applications, enabling flexible and secure deployment across different environments.
"Secure config" is a general goal; environment variables can be part of a secure configuration strategy, but it's not a specific mechanism like environment variables.
"Unsecure config" describes a state, not a recommended method for managing configuration parameters.
Environment variables provide a robust and flexible mechanism to store configuration values that can change between deployment environments, such as connection strings or API keys, without hardcoding them into the application itself. They are easily managed and accessed by applications running in various cloud services.
"Settings" is a generic term, while "environment variable" refers to a specific and widely used implementation for managing application configurations, especially in cloud scenarios.
