User Testimonials
	AWS CloudHSM	AWS Secrets Manager
Likelihood to Recommend	Amazon AWS No answers on this topic	Amazon AWS [AWS Secrets Manager] is really good at managing the secrets for each environment (stage, production, ...), and with a simple command, the users will get all the variables for running the project. Depending on the user role, they could just read and/or edit the variables on the Secrets Manager on AWS. This facilitates the management of the secrets.
