To avoid catastrophic misconfigurations, security architects have established three golden rules for managing production-settings. production-settings

Mastering is not a one-time task; it is a discipline. It requires rigorous separation of code from config, ruthless auditing of secrets, and a deep understanding that the "production environment" is a hostile, untrustworthy place until proven otherwise.

Restrict production infrastructure access using the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP).
