Note that your Lambda function requires permissions to access secrets manager and to decrypt the value using a KMS key. Step 2 – Accessing Our Secret From AWS Lambda With Python Boto3
#Secrets aws code#
Keep this value handy as we’ll need it when we implement the code for our Lambda function. Note the ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of your secret on the summary page. Proceed through the wizard and complete creating your secret. Optional when creating our secret, we can configure automatic rotation. In this demo, we will use the “Other type of secret”. However, if you’re storing a secret value in plain text, like an API key for GitHub, you’ll want to use the “Other type of secret” option. This adds an extra layer of security on top of your storage. If you’re using Amazon RDS, DocumentDB, or Redshift, I highly recommend selecting one of those options because you will also get automatic secret rotation as an added benefit. There’s nowhere in the AWS console (that I know of at least) where you can see the expiry date so you may want to write it down.Ĭlick “Store a new secret” and select the secret type that you want to store. Note that the 30 day period starts when you create your first secret on your account. This allows you to create, retrieve, and rotate secrets for 30 days without being charged a penny.
However, if this is your first time using Secrets Manager on your AWS account, you are automatically eligible for the free trial of the service. Before we begin, note that there is a 40-cent cost per month for each secret you store within Secrets Manager.
