# Secrets Manager

AWS Secrets manager is a product which can manage secrets within AWS. There is some overlap between it and the SSM Parameter Store - but Secrets manager is specialised for secrets.

Additionally Secrets managed is capable of automatic credential rotation using Lambda.

For supported services it can even adjust the credentials of the service itself.
