Which solution rotates Amazon RDS database credentials automatically?

Secrets Manager is designed specifically for the purpose of managing sensitive information, such as database credentials. One of its key features is the ability to automatically rotate credentials for various AWS services, including Amazon RDS. This automatic rotation ensures that the credentials remain secure and that applications always have valid access to the database without exposing the credentials directly in code.

This approach enhances security by minimizing the risk of credential theft and reduces the administrative burden of manually updating these credentials periodically. By using Secrets Manager, organizations can implement best practices for credential management and improve their overall security posture in a cloud environment.

In contrast, while Certificate Manager deals with SSL/TLS certificates, and Systems Manager Parameter Store provides a way to store configuration data and secrets, neither of them specifically focuses on the automatic rotation of database credentials the way Secrets Manager does. Similarly, Systems Manager Secure Shell is meant for managing SSH instances and doesn't involve automatic credential management for databases.
