Rotate AWS Secrets Manager secrets

Focus mode
Rotate AWS Secrets Manager secrets - AWS Secrets Manager

Rotation is the process of periodically updating a secret. When you rotate a secret, you update the credentials in both the secret and the database or service. In Secrets Manager, you can set up automatic rotation for your secrets. There are two forms of rotation:

  • Managed rotation – For most managed secrets, you use managed rotation, where the service configures and manages rotation for you. Managed rotation doesn't use a Lambda function.

  • Rotation by Lambda function – For other types of secrets, Secrets Manager rotation uses a Lambda function to update the secret and the database or service.
