Q
When should you use AWS Secrets Manager instead of Parameter Store?
A
Secrets Manager is designed for secrets (password, API keys, etc.) and is usable via the console, API, or SDKs.
Secrets Manager supports automatic rotation using Lambda.
Secrets Manager integrates directly with some AWS products like RDS.
So, if you need to store secrets that are automatically rotated and updated in integrated AWS services, use Secrets Manager.
