00:00Let's talk about AWS Secret Manager. It's a fully managed service that helps you
00:05securely store, manage and rotate sensitive credentials, API keys and other
00:10secrets throughout their lifecycle. Think of it as a highly secured central
00:16digital wallet for all your applications, sensitive information instead of hard
00:21coding credentials directly into your application code or configuration files.
00:25You can make a programmatic call to secrets manager at runtime to retrieve the
00:31latest secret values. So why you need secret managers? The primary purpose of
00:37secret manager is to drastically improve your security posture and simplify the
00:42management of secrets across your environments. So problems without using
00:48secret manager is that you have to hard code your secrets, credentials
00:54are at compromised position, poor access control and lack of auditing. So key
00:59users of secrets manager is that you can store automatically and automatically
01:03rotate your login credentials for databases like Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, Amazon
01:10DocumentDB. You can securely manage API keys for third-party services or tokens and
01:17other external service credentials. You can use the service service to manage
01:22manage credentials for resources running outside of the AWS cloud. Secrets are encrypted at rest using
01:35AWS key management service and decrypted only when retired by an authenticated principle.
01:41Multi-region replication is it can easily replicate secrets across AWS multiple regions for disasters
01:48or global applications. The one of the real-world examples are like you can imagine a web application
01:56running on Amazon EC2 or Lambda that connects with AWS RDS database. So in that in this situation you can use
02:06secret manager you know. So these are the most important things for AWS secret manager. If you have any
02:13questions please ask or you can ask the same thing in the comments and if you anybody wants to willing to
02:21learn AWS, please share this video with them. Thanks for watching.
