AWS Secrets Manager is used for storing secret information that has to be a secret from your customer and your employees. They would need your credentials. When you use a Google service for something, you have to log in using your credentials, even when you are accessing it programmatically. You cannot include these things in the program because programs are stored outside our community in some repository or version control system like GitHub. So you cannot add these credentials in the code because it is public. For that, we store it in AWS Secrets Manager, and whoever writes the program connects with the solution to fetch the authentication information. Even the person who writes the program doesn't need to know the guarded secret.

We can utilize the solution directly through the access feature in the certificate. Thus, we don't have to maintain or create another vault for ourselves. It brings more speed and flexibility to the development team.

The most valuable feature of AWS Secrets Manager is the ability to keep data secret and assign access permissions to people to grant or restrict access.

They offer rotation configurations that enable you to create a Lambda function to rotate your secret on a scheduled basis, whether it's a certificate or any other type of credential.

All our workloads are running on AWS, so integration with our workload is much easier on AWS Secrets Manager than going with another solution such as Thycotic.

The API interface provided by AWS Secrets Manager is much easier. AWS provides you a good set of APIs that you can interact with using Python, Java, etc. Access control is also completely possible on AWS.

It is an intuitive product. It is working well for our use case. We haven't seen any scenario where we are not able to use it.
