Amazon FSx Integration with AWS Secrets Manager

Amazon FSx now integrates with AWS Secrets Manager, enhancing the protection and management of Active Directory domain service account credentials for FSx for Windows File Server file systems and FSx for NetApp ONTAP Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs). This integration allows you to store service account credentials securely in AWS Secrets Manager, eliminating the need to store plain text credentials in application code or configuration files.

You can now use AWS Secrets Manager to store your domain join service credentials for all FSx for Windows file systems and FSx for ONTAP Storage Virtual Machines in all AWS Regions where they are available.

What to do

  • Store your service account credentials in AWS Secrets Manager.
  • Use AWS Secrets Manager to rotate your Active Directory credentials.
  • Consume the credentials when needed in FSx workloads.
