AWS Secrets Manager announces support for cost allocation tags for secrets

AWS Secrets Manager now enables customers to allocate and track cost for their secret usage. Customers can categorize their secret costs by department, team, or application using AWS cost allocation tags. You can leverage this feature by tagging your secrets and enabling them in Cost Allocation Tags.

Secrets Manager is a fully managed service that helps you manage, retrieve, and rotate database credentials, application credentials, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycles. You can use Secrets Manager to replace hard-coded credentials in application source code with a runtime call to the Secrets Manager service to retrieve credentials dynamically when you need them.

For more information about cost allocation tags, visit the AWS Secrets Manager documentation. To get started, visit the launch blog post. The feature is available in all regions where AWS Secrets Manager is available. For a list of regions where Secrets Manager is available, see the AWS Region table.
