To the best of my knowledge, I have not yet come across referring to Security in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Earlier we used to store our secret variables in GitHub, like DB endpoint/password. Which was not secure, and then we started to store it in SSM parameters in Secret Manager. And during build time, we "sed" all the values from SSM parameters to the application code, which made our secret values secure & inaccessible from the outside world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike it, but during code build, we need to give permission to AWS CloudBuild to access Secret Manager and need to write in yaml files all the values which we want to fetch, but it is all process we need to do to make things good. So not a bad thing to dislike it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Secrets Manager is a service provided by Amazon cloud platform to store, retrieve and rotate our credentials. We employ it for our database passwords, API keys, and other secrets to manage our password lifecycle. Instead of hardcoding our passwords in the code, we can easily reference our secrets which are securely stored in our Secrets Manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Secrets Manager gives me the convenience to hold multiple versions of my credentials through its staged labels. It also allows me to maintain access priviledges when I define my IAM policies. No dislike with anything related to its service in our AWS environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our organization mostly used it for saving sensitive information e.g private key or rds credentials. The best feature is to rotate your credentials without any hassle. The lambda custom code feature is great for rotation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes in dev, qa environment the rotation would not happen and it required manually resetting password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is that it keeps all my secret passwords, well, secret! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
