Using AWS Lambda with Secrets Manager

Secrets Manager uses a Lambda function to rotate the secret for a secured service or database. You can customize the Lambda function to implement the service-specific details of rotating a secret.

Secrets Manager invokes the Lambda rotation function as a synchronous invocation. The event parameter contains the following fields:

{
  "Step" : "request.type",
  "SecretId" : "string",
  "ClientRequestToken" : "string"
}
