AWS Secrets Manager

​

Python

To use secrets in Python code, read these instructions.

​

YAML

To use secrets in YAML files (e.g. in data integration pipelines):

1. Add the following keys and values to your environment variables or as Mage secrets so that Mage can access the AWS Secrets Manager:

   1. AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID (not needed if using IAM role to authenticate)
   2. AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY (not needed if using IAM role to authenticate)
   3. AWS_DEFAULT_REGION (or AWS_REGION_NAME)

2. Store a secret in AWS Secrets Manager.

3. Use the following syntax in your YAML file to interpolate secret values from AWS Secrets Manager:

   "{{ aws_secret_var('some_name_for_secret') }}"
   

   For example:

   api_key: "{{ aws_secret_var('API_KEY') }}"
   access_token: "{{ aws_secret_var('ACCESS_TOKEN') }}"
