Use AWS Secrets Manager to store the Aurora credentials as a secret Encrypt the secret with a KMS key Configure 14 day automatic rotation for the secret Associate the secret with the Aurora DB cluster The key points: Aurora MySQL credentials must be encrypted and rotated every 14 days Want to minimize operational effort

AWS Secrets Manager allows you to easily rotate, manage, and retrieve database credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycle. With this service, you can automate the rotation of secrets, such as database credentials, on a schedule that you choose. The solution allows you to create a new secret with the appropriate credentials and associate it with the Aurora DB cluster. You can then configure a custom rotation period of 14 days to ensure that the credentials are automatically rotated every two weeks, as required by the IT security guidelines. This approach requires the least amount of operational effort as it allows you to manage secrets centrally without modifying your application code or infrastructure.
