AWS Secrets Manager

AWS Secrets Manager

This Drupal module adds a new key provider for the Key module - it allows you to encrypt data using AWS Secrets Manager.

Get Started

This guide assumes you have an AWS account and working knowledge of AWS Secrets Manager and IAM, and the following resources provisioned in AWS.

• One or more secrets
• An IAM user with privileges to access the relevant secrets

Ensure this module and its dependencies are available in your codebase.

• https://drupal.org/project/key
• https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php

Enable the AWS Secrets Manager module and create a key.

AWS Credentials

There are alternatives to configuring the AWS credentials in the admin form.

settings.php

$config['aws_secrets_manager.settings']['aws_key'] = 'foo';
$config['aws_secrets_manager.settings']['aws_secret'] = 'bar';

If you do not explicitly set AWS key and secret in config, it will fall back to:

• IAM Instance Profile
• Exported credentials in environment variables
• The default profile in a ~/.aws/credentials file

See the AWS SDK Guide on Credentials.
