AWS Secrets Manager adds managed external secrets support for Datadog vended keys and Snowflake Programmatic Access Tokens

AWS Secrets Manager Updates

AWS Secrets Manager now supports managed external secrets for Datadog Keys and Snowflake Programmatic Access Tokens (PATs). This enables automatic rotation of third-party credentials directly from AWS Secrets Manager, offering first-class integration with supported third-party services.

New Features

• Manage rotation for Datadog API keys, Application keys, and admin credential pairs for service accounts.
• Rotate Snowflake Programmatic Access Tokens using Snowflake's native authentication with a configurable grace period.

What to do

• Update your Datadog and Snowflake credentials to use AWS Secrets Manager for automatic rotation.
• Configure a grace period for Snowflake PATs to ensure seamless transitions to new tokens.
