AWS SECRETS MANAGER - Getting Started and Integrating with .NET Apps | .NET ON AWS

Hey 👋 Hardcoding credentials, connection strings, and other sensitive information in your application code are bad. But then what is the alternative?
If you are building applications on AWS Infrastructure then AWS Secrets Manager provides a centralized store to manage your application secrets. Secrets can be any information like passwords, credentials, connection strings, API keys, etc. Secrets Manager helps you protect access to your IT resources and data by enabling you to rotate and manage access to your secrets.

In this video let’s learn how to get started with using AWS Secrets Manager using a .NET Application. First, we will learn how to connect to Secrets Manager from .NET using the client SDK and retrieve secrets. We will then see how to integrate Secrets Manager into built-in .NET Configuration and how to seamlessly use secrets from our application code. We will also learn how to handle automatic refreshing of Secrets so that the application always has the latest secrets.
