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.fromSecretArn or Secret.fromSecretAttributes method to make it available in your CDK Application: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Object secret = secretsmanager.Secret.fromSecretAttributes(scope, "ImportedSecret", Map.of(
         "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", encryptionKey));

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

A secret can set RemovalPolicy. If it set to RETAIN, that removing a secret will fail.

Grant permission to use the secret to a role

You must grant permission to a resource for that resource to be allowed to use a secret. This can be achieved with the Secret.grantRead and/or Secret.grantUpdate method, depending on your need: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Role role = new Role(stack, "SomeRole", new RoleProps().assumedBy(new AccountRootPrincipal()));
 Object secret = new Secret(stack, "Secret");
 secret.grantRead(role);
 secret.grantWrite(role);

If, as in the following example, your secret was created with a KMS key: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Object key = new Key(stack, "KMS");
 Object secret = Secret.Builder.create(stack, "Secret").encryptionKey(key).build();
 secret.grantRead(role);
 secret.grantWrite(role);

then Secret.grantRead and Secret.grantWrite will also grant the role the relevant encrypt and decrypt permissions to the KMS key through the SecretsManager service principal.

Rotating a Secret

Using a Custom Lambda Function

A rotation schedule can be added to a Secret using a custom Lambda function: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Function fn = new Function(...);
 Object secret = new Secret(this, "Secret");
 
 secret.addRotationSchedule("RotationSchedule", Map.of(
         "rotationLambda", fn,
         "automaticallyAfter", Duration.days(15)));

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

Using a Hosted Lambda Function

Use the hostedRotation prop to rotate a secret with a hosted Lambda function: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Object secret = new Secret(this, "Secret");
 
 secret.addRotationSchedule("RotationSchedule", Map.of(
         "hostedRotation", secretsmanager.HostedRotation.mysqlSingleUser()));

Hosted rotation is available for secrets representing credentials for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MariaDB, SQLServer, Redshift and MongoDB (both for the single and multi user schemes).

When deployed in a VPC, the hosted rotation implements ec2.IConnectable: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Object myHostedRotation = secretsmanager.HostedRotation.mysqlSingleUser(Map.of("vpc", myVpc));
 secret.addRotationSchedule("RotationSchedule", Map.of("hostedRotation", myHostedRotation));
 dbConnections.allowDefaultPortFrom(hostedRotation);

See also Automating secret creation in AWS CloudFormation.

Rotating database credentials

Define a SecretRotation to rotate database credentials: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 SecretRotation.Builder.create(this, "SecretRotation")
         .application(secretsmanager.SecretRotationApplication.getMYSQL_ROTATION_SINGLE_USER())// MySQL single user scheme
         .secret(mySecret)
         .target(myDatabase)// a Connectable
         .vpc(myVpc)// The VPC where the secret rotation application will be deployed
         .excludeCharacters(" %+:;{}")
         .build();

The secret must be a JSON string with the following format: 

 {
   "engine": "<required: database engine>",
   "host": "<required: instance host name>",
   "username": "<required: username>",
   "password": "<required: password>",
   "dbname": "<optional: database name>",
   "port": "<optional: if not specified, default port will be used>",
   "masterarn": "<required for multi user rotation: the arn of the master secret which will be used to create users/change passwords>"
 }

For the multi user scheme, a masterSecret must be specified: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 SecretRotation.Builder.create(stack, "SecretRotation")
         .application(secretsmanager.SecretRotationApplication.getMYSQL_ROTATION_MULTI_USER())
         .secret(myUserSecret)// The secret that will be rotated
         .masterSecret(myMasterSecret)// The secret used for the rotation
         .target(myDatabase)
         .vpc(myVpc)
         .build();

See also aws-rds where credentials generation and rotation is integrated.

Importing Secrets

Existing secrets can be imported by ARN, name, and other attributes (including the KMS key used to encrypt the secret). Secrets imported by name should use the short-form of the name (without the SecretsManager-provided suffx); the secret name must exist in the same account and region as the stack. Importing by name makes it easier to reference secrets created in different regions, each with their own suffix and ARN. 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 import software.amazon.awscdk.aws_kms;
 
 
 String secretCompleteArn = "arn:aws:secretsmanager:eu-west-1:111111111111:secret:MySecret-f3gDy9";
 String secretPartialArn = "arn:aws:secretsmanager:eu-west-1:111111111111:secret:MySecret";// No Secrets Manager suffix
 IKey encryptionKey = kms.Key.fromKeyArn(stack, "MyEncKey", "arn:aws:kms:eu-west-1:111111111111:key/21c4b39b-fde2-4273-9ac0-d9bb5c0d0030");
 Object mySecretFromCompleteArn = secretsmanager.Secret.fromSecretCompleteArn(stack, "SecretFromCompleteArn", secretCompleteArn);
 Object mySecretFromPartialArn = secretsmanager.Secret.fromSecretPartialArn(stack, "SecretFromPartialArn", secretPartialArn);
 Object mySecretFromName = secretsmanager.Secret.fromSecretNameV2(stack, "SecretFromName", "MySecret");
 Object mySecretFromAttrs = secretsmanager.Secret.fromSecretAttributes(stack, "SecretFromAttributes", Map.of(
         "secretCompleteArn", secretCompleteArn,
         "encryptionKey", encryptionKey));

Replicating secrets

Secrets can be replicated to multiple regions by specifying replicaRegions: 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Secret.Builder.create(this, "Secret")
         .replicaRegions(asList(Map.of(
                 "region", "eu-west-1"), Map.of(
                 "region", "eu-central-1",
                 "encryptionKey", myKey)))
         .build();

Alternatively, use addReplicaRegion(): 

 // Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
 Object secret = new Secret(this, "Secret");
 secret.addReplicaRegion("eu-west-1");
