Class SecretValue
- All Implemented Interfaces:
IResolvable
,software.amazon.jsii.JsiiSerializable
Constructs that need secrets will declare parameters of type SecretValue
.
The actual values of these secrets should not be committed to your
repository, or even end up in the synthesized CloudFormation template. Instead, you should
store them in an external system like AWS Secrets Manager or SSM Parameter
Store, and you can reference them by calling SecretValue.secretsManager()
or
SecretValue.ssmSecure()
.
You can use SecretValue.unsafePlainText()
to construct a SecretValue
from a
literal string, but doing so is highly discouraged.
To make sure secret values don't accidentally end up in readable parts
of your infrastructure definition (such as the environment variables
of an AWS Lambda Function, where everyone who can read the function
definition has access to the secret), using secret values directly is not
allowed. You must pass them to constructs that accept SecretValue
properties, which are guaranteed to use the value only in CloudFormation
properties that are write-only.
If you are sure that what you are doing is safe, you can call
secretValue.unsafeUnwrap()
to access the protected string of the secret
value.
(If you are writing something like an AWS Lambda Function and need to access
a secret inside it, make the API call to GetSecretValue
directly inside
your Lamba's code, instead of using environment variables.)
Example:
// Read the secret from Secrets Manager Pipeline pipeline = new Pipeline(this, "MyPipeline"); Artifact sourceOutput = new Artifact(); GitHubSourceAction sourceAction = GitHubSourceAction.Builder.create() .actionName("GitHub_Source") .owner("awslabs") .repo("aws-cdk") .oauthToken(SecretValue.secretsManager("my-github-token")) .output(sourceOutput) .branch("develop") .build(); pipeline.addStage(StageOptions.builder() .stageName("Source") .actions(List.of(sourceAction)) .build());

SecretValue
@Stability(Stable) public SecretValue(@NotNull Object protectedValue, @Nullable IntrinsicProps options) Construct a SecretValue (do not use!).Do not use the constructor directly: use one of the factory functions on the class instead.
- Parameters:
protectedValue
- This parameter is required.options
-
-

Method Details

cfnDynamicReference
@Stability(Stable) @NotNull public static SecretValue cfnDynamicReference(@NotNull CfnDynamicReference ref) Obtain the secret value through a CloudFormation dynamic reference.If possible, use
SecretValue.ssmSecure
orSecretValue.secretsManager
directly.- Parameters:
ref
- The dynamic reference to use. This parameter is required.
-
cfnParameter
Obtain the secret value through a CloudFormation parameter.Generally, this is not a recommended approach. AWS Secrets Manager is the recommended way to reference secrets.
- Parameters:
param
- The CloudFormation parameter to use. This parameter is required.
-
isSecretValue
Test whether an object is a SecretValue.- Parameters:
x
- This parameter is required.
-
plainText
@Stability(Deprecated) @Deprecated @NotNull public static SecretValue plainText(@NotNull String secret) Deprecated.UseunsafePlainText()
instead.(deprecated) Construct a literal secret value for use with secret-aware constructs.Do not use this method for any secrets that you care about! The value will be visible to anyone who has access to the CloudFormation template (via the AWS Console, SDKs, or CLI).
The only reasonable use case for using this method is when you are testing.
- Parameters:
secret
- This parameter is required.
-
resourceAttribute
Use a resource's output as secret value.- Parameters:
attr
- This parameter is required.
-
secretsManager
@Stability(Stable) @NotNull public static SecretValue secretsManager(@NotNull String secretId, @Nullable SecretsManagerSecretOptions options) Creates aSecretValue
with a value which is dynamically loaded from AWS Secrets Manager.- Parameters:
secretId
- The ID or ARN of the secret. This parameter is required.options
- Options.
-
secretsManager
Creates aSecretValue
with a value which is dynamically loaded from AWS Secrets Manager.- Parameters:
secretId
- The ID or ARN of the secret. This parameter is required.
-
ssmSecure
@Stability(Stable) @NotNull public static SecretValue ssmSecure(@NotNull String parameterName, @Nullable String version) Use a secret value stored from a Systems Manager (SSM) parameter.- Parameters:
parameterName
- The name of the parameter in the Systems Manager Parameter Store. This parameter is required.version
- An integer that specifies the version of the parameter to use.
-
ssmSecure
Use a secret value stored from a Systems Manager (SSM) parameter.- Parameters:
parameterName
- The name of the parameter in the Systems Manager Parameter Store. This parameter is required.
-
unsafePlainText
Construct a literal secret value for use with secret-aware constructs.Do not use this method for any secrets that you care about! The value will be visible to anyone who has access to the CloudFormation template (via the AWS Console, SDKs, or CLI).
The only reasonable use case for using this method is when you are testing.
- Parameters:
secret
- This parameter is required.
-
resolve
Resolve the secret.If the feature flag is not set, resolve as normal. Otherwise, throw a descriptive error that the usage guard is missing.
- Specified by:
resolve
in interfaceIResolvable
- Overrides:
resolve
in classIntrinsic
- Parameters:
context
- This parameter is required.
-
unsafeUnwrap
Disable usage protection on this secret.Call this to indicate that you want to use the secret value held by this object in an unchecked way. If you don't call this method, using the secret value directly in a string context or as a property value somewhere will produce an error.
This method has 'unsafe' in the name on purpose! Make sure that the construct property you are using the returned value in is does not end up in a place in your AWS infrastructure where it could be read by anyone unexpected.
When in doubt, don't call this method and only pass the object to constructs that accept
SecretValue
parameters.
