"External Secret Definition with AWS Secrets Manager for our Elastic Kubernetes clusters"

5/5

What do you like best about AWS Secrets Manager?

AWS Secrets Manager is a service provided by Amazon cloud platform to store, retrieve and rotate our credentials. We employ it for our database passwords, API keys, and other secrets to manage our password lifecycle. Instead of hardcoding our passwords in the code, we can easily reference our secrets which are securely stored in our Secrets Manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Secrets Manager?

AWS Secrets Manager gives me the convenience to hold multiple versions of my credentials through its staged labels. It also allows me to maintain access priviledges when I define my IAM policies. No dislike with anything related to its service in our AWS environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AWS Secrets Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

We establish the external secrets of our EKS clusters using AWS Secrets Manager. Secrets Manager's configuration is convenient thanks to our AWS CLI environment, which has plenty of programmatic capabilities. Backend password configurations are compatible, and it allows external secrets to be stored in our Secrets Manager. We can also give strict access privilege definitions while working with production environments to enhance credential security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
