HI friends, I have multiple mysql users and i want to store the username/password in aws secret e.g prod/rds/example_user
Should i create a secret per user, or should i create a single secret prod/rds for all users but the secret can have multiple key/value pairs. ?
Why not have a users table with the username and hashed password? That’s basically free for you. AWS charges $0.40 per secret per month.
Im referring to mysql users
Like administration stuff, nothing to do with a users table
Its good to know that aws charges 0.4 per secret / per month, thats makes me thingk i should use the second option (one single secret with multiple key/values each per user ) to save
Also does anyone have any views on the naming conventions of secret in secret manager
prod/rds/users
vs
rds/prod/users
For your naming, always go from more general to more specific, so your first example would be preferable. I will note, though: the presence of “prod” implies that “dev” is present in the same account, which is far from ideal.
I went with prod/rds/users
