Customers in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region can now use AWS Secrets Manager to manage secrets such as database passwords and API keys needed to access their applications, services, and IT resources.
AWS Secrets Manager enables you to retrieve and manage secrets throughout their lifecycle. AWS Secrets Manager also makes it easier to follow the security best practice of using short-term secrets by rotating secrets safely on a schedule that you determine. For example, you can configure AWS Secrets Manager to rotate a database credential daily, turning a typical long-term secret in to a short-term secret that is rotated automatically.
