How Amazon Aurora uses AWS Secrets Manager

Amazon Aurora is a fully managed relational database engine that's compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL.

To manage master user credentials for Aurora, Aurora can create a managed secret for you. You are charged for that secret. Aurora also manages rotation for these credentials. For more information, see Password management with Amazon Aurora and AWS Secrets Manager in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

For other Aurora credentials, see Create an AWS Secrets Manager database secret.

When you call the Amazon RDS Data API, you can pass credentials for the database by using a secret in Secrets Manager. For more information, see Using the Data API for Aurora Serverless in the Amazon Aurora User Guide.

When you use the Amazon RDS query editor to connect to a database, you can store credentials for the database in Secrets Manager. For more information, see Using the query editor in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
