The Secrets Manager Agent simplifies the process of retrieving secrets from AWS Secrets Manager, enabling secure and streamlined access by allowing applications to retrieve secrets from a local HTTP service.
It provides customizable configuration options like time to live, cache size, maximum connections, and built-in protection against Server-Side Request Forgery, tailoring the agent to specific application requirements for increased security.
The agent retrieves and stores secrets in memory, allowing applications to access cached secrets directly. However, it can only make read requests to Secrets Manager, unlike the AWS SDK, which offers more functionalities, including modification of secrets.
The agent simplifies the proper usage of Secrets Manager and focuses more on streamlining processes rather than primarily enhancing security functionalities. It aims to assist users in efficiently utilizing Secrets Manager while simplifying the overall process.
