Retrieve secrets from AWS Secrets Manager
You can retrieve your secrets by using the console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/get-secret-value).
In applications, you can retrieve your secrets by calling GetSecretValue in any of the AWS SDKs. However, we recommend that you
cache your secret values by using client-side caching. Caching secrets improves speed and
reduces your costs.
-
For Java applications:
-
If you store database credentials in the secret, use the Secrets Manager SQL connection drivers to connect to a database using the credentials in the secret.
-
For other types of secrets, use the Secrets Manager Java-based caching component.
-
-
For Python applications, use the Secrets Manager Python-based caching component.
-
For .NET applications, use the Secrets Manager .NET-based caching component.
-
For Go applications, use the Secrets Manager Go-based caching component.
-
For JavaScript applications, call the SDK directly with
getSecretValue. -
For PHP applications, call the SDK directly with
GetSecretValue. -
For Ruby applications, call the SDK directly with
get_secret_value.
Within other AWS services
You can also retrieve secrets within other AWS services:
-
For Amazon EKS, you can use AWS Secrets and Configuration Provider (ASCP) to mount secrets as files in Amazon EKS.
-
For AWS Batch, you can reference secrets in a job definition.
-
For AWS CloudFormation, you can create secrets and reference secrets in a CloudFormation stack.
-
For Amazon ECS, you can reference secrets in a container definition.
-
For AWS IoT Greengrass, you can reference secrets in a Greengrass group.
-
For Parameter Store, you can reference secrets in a parameter.
