BTW, better place to keep these secret values is to set key management
server
and get key from it. Secure the key management server and communication to
it
as much as possible.

Those who are really care about security should use key management server.
And don't forget to use salt with HKDF, it should be optional only if salt
cannot be
used. Before omitting "salt" for HKDF, one should consider how it can be
set.
