• Show secrets stored by the secrets manager in the current account:

• List all secrets but only show the secret names and ARNs (easy to view):

aws secretsmanager list-secrets --query 'SecretList[*].{Name: Name, ARN: ARN}'

• Create a secret:

aws secretsmanager create-secret --name name --description "secret_description" --secret-string 'secret'

• Delete a secret (append --force-delete-without-recovery to delete immediately without any recovery period):

aws secretsmanager delete-secret --secret-id name|arn

• View details of a secret except for secret text:

aws secretsmanager describe-secret --secret-id name|arn

• Retrieve the value of a secret (to get the latest version of the secret omit --version-stage):

aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --secret-id name|arn --version-stage version_of_secret

• Rotate the secret immediately using a Lambda function:

aws secretsmanager rotate-secret --secret-id name|arn --rotation-lambda-arn arn_of_lambda_function

• Rotate the secret automatically every 30 days using a Lambda function:

aws secretsmanager rotate-secret --secret-id name|arn --rotation-lambda-arn arn_of_lambda_function --rotation-rules AutomaticallyAfterDays=30
