Exam AWS-SysOps topic 1 question 742 discussion

Storing the credentials as secure strings in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store allows for secure storage and centralized management of sensitive information. This approach helps minimize administrative overhead while providing secure access to the credentials. By passing an environment tag as a parameter to the CloudFormation template, you can specify the target environment during deployment. The user data script can then retrieve the environment tag and insert it into the EC2 instances. The application can access the credentials from the Systems Manager Parameter Store using the appropriate API calls or SDKs provided by AWS. This allows the application to securely retrieve the necessary credentials at runtime.
