It is recommended that you create a training account for this training to keep this work separate from any work you do in a production Cloudinary account.

CLOUD_NAME and API_KEY can be revealed without creating any security issues, but you must keep API_SECRET private. It’s strongly recommended not to keep your API Secret anywhere within the app code.
Don't check it into GitHub and don't include it in blog posts.
- For this course, you only need your cloud name, so there won't be any risk of security.
