How AWS DataSync uses AWS Secrets Manager

AWS DataSync is an online data transfer service that simplifies, automates, and accelerates moving data between storage systems and services. DataSync Discovery helps you accelerate your migration to AWS.

To collect information about an on-premises storage system, DataSync Discovery uses the credentials for the storage system's management interface. DataSync stores those credentials in a Secrets Manager managed secret with the prefix datasync. You are charged for that secret. For more information, see Adding your on-premises storage system to DataSync Discovery in the AWS DataSync User Guide.
