Developers Protect Cloud Data When Using LLMs

A user reports using public LLM tools like ChatGPT for debugging, config review, log analysis, and infrastructure command generation and asks (in early 2026) about secure practices. They note logs and configs can include IP addresses, API keys, database details, and customer data, and seek guidance on sanitization, mocking, self-hosting, or avoiding sensitive pastes. The question targets DigitalOcean and cloud workflows.
