How can I use AWS Lambda with Secrets Manager?

You can use AWS Lambda to securely access secrets stored in AWS Secrets Manager by using the AWS SDK.

What are the steps to retrieve a secret in my Lambda function?

First, ensure your Lambda function has the necessary IAM permissions. Then, use the AWS SDK to call the Secrets Manager API.

Can you provide a code example for that?

Sure! Here's a simple example in Python:

import boto3

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    client = boto3.client('secretsmanager')
    secret_name = 'my_secret'
    response = client.get_secret_value(SecretId=secret_name)
    return response['SecretString']

What if I need to update a secret?

You can use the update_secret method in the AWS SDK to update your secret's value.
