SSM provides users with lifecycle management services for secrets, including creation, retrieval, updating, and deletion. Combined with resource-level role authorization, it enables centralized querying, management, and encrypted storage of database secrets, API keys, other tokens, and sensitive configurations. This effectively prevents sensitive information leaks and business risks associated with uncontrolled permission due to hardcoding and plaintext configuration in programs.

All secrets are encrypted and protected by the Key Management System (KMS) and are accessible through easy-to-use APIs and SDKs, significantly reducing user operational and management costs.
