Great video Hari. If it were a jewel, definitely a diamond! Took it right from your example to my production code.

Thanks for the video ... in the video you explained that there are other ways to do the same and secrets manager is one of the ways ... Can you please point out a few other ways, so that I can explore them ... Thanks

hi very informative video...bu how to use this secret manager in aws glue to access mysql database

[idreesahmed]

Sir what if we have more than one schema/database in our MySQL RDS


should I need to create separate secrets for another schema/database in the same RDS?

Great video. Does this also work within a Lambda function? I tried it but can't seem to print the username and password within the handler. thanks

Whoever has access to code can they not simply print the secret to know the value ? how can i secure it from doing that ?

[pachappagarimohanvamsi]

I am not getting that what is the secret here ... People who have code execution rights can simply print and see the password details from that secretDect dictionary details getting from the secret manager right ... I think it's only for people who have read-only privileges to the code or people with AWS role with permissions... Pls, let me know if I am wrong.

Great video! However after creating a secret in secret manager I am no longer able to connect to the RDS DB instance. This is the error: "ERROR:root:1045 (28000): Access denied for user '<username>@<myip> (using password: YES)".
What happened?

Thank you - this tutorial was very helpful. 
One question: Is there any other way to programmatically connect to AWS (I mean if I don't want to store access key and secret key in my laptop / computer).

[marianek]

Great explanation. Could you please expand this demo with using this last code in lambda?

[Aman-iepy]

That's what i want but i need in nodejs

[VinaySingh-gwyi]

Dear Hari, if my python app is running on ec2 how can i ensure my app has access to read secrets from secrets manager??

[krishnamoorthy]

Hi could you please let me know which version of python and pip we have to use? I tried to use python 2 and I got error that unknown service name secrets manager..
