The AWS Secrets Manager Agent simplifies accessing secrets from Secrets Manager across AWS Lambda, ECS, EKS, and EC2. It retrieves and caches secrets in memory, reducing the need for direct calls to Secrets Manager. The agent provides protection against SSRF and can be customized by setting TTL, cache size, and other parameters. It can only read secrets and refreshes cached values periodically. Building and installing the agent is straightforward, enabling seamless integration with your applications. Security considerations highlight the importance of managing access to the agent and securing the SSRF token. Overall, the agent streamlines secret management in AWS environments.
