AWS Secrets Manager Construct Library


Stability: Experimental

This is a developer preview (public beta) module. Releases might lack important features and might have future breaking changes.

This API is still under active development and subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. Use of the API is not recommended in production environments. Experimental APIs are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model.


const secretsmanager = require('@aws-cdk/aws-secretsmanager');

Create a new Secret in a Stack

In order to have SecretsManager generate a new secret value automatically, you can get started with the following:

example of creating a secret

The Secret construct does not allow specifying the SecretString property of the AWS::SecretsManager::Secret resource (as this will almost always lead to the secret being surfaced in plain text and possibly committed to your source control).

If you need to use a pre-existing secret, the recommended way is to manually provision the secret in AWS SecretsManager and use the Secret.import method to make it available in your CDK Application:

const secret = Secret.import(scope, 'ImportedSecret', {
  secretArn: 'arn:aws:secretsmanager:<region>:<account-id-number>:secret:<secret-name>-<random-6-characters>',
  // If the secret is encrypted using a KMS-hosted CMK, either import or reference that key:
  encryptionKey,
});

SecretsManager secret values can only be used in select set of properties. For the list of properties, see the CloudFormation Dynamic References documentation.

Rotating a Secret

A rotation schedule can be added to a Secret:

const fn = new lambda.Function(...);
const secret = new secretsManager.Secret(this, 'Secret');

secret.addRotationSchedule('RotationSchedule', {
  rotationLambda: fn,
  automaticallyAfterDays: 15
});

See Overview of the Lambda Rotation Function on how to implement a Lambda Rotation Function.

For RDS credentials rotation, see aws-rds.
