Secrets Manager

A SecretStore points to AWS Secrets Manager in a certain account within a defined region. You should define Roles that allow fine-grained access to individual secrets and pass them to ESO using spec.provider.aws.role. This way users of the SecretStore can only access the secrets necessary.

{% include 'aws-sm-store.yaml' %}

Create a IAM Policy to pin down access to secrets matching dev-*.
