Hi everyone! I'm new to AWS and I'm looking for some advice on how to securely store secrets on the platform. I've been reading about different options like AWS Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, but I'm not sure which one to choose. What are the pros and cons of each? Are there any other services or best practices I should consider? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey there! When it comes to securely storing secrets on AWS, there are indeed multiple options available. AWS Secrets Manager and Parameter Store are both great choices. Secrets Manager provides a managed solution specifically designed for secrets management, making it easier to rotate, manage access, and integrate with other AWS services. Parameter Store, on the other hand, offers a more lightweight option suitable for simple key-value storage. Another service to consider is AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption.
