# AWS SDK for Java 2.x - AWS Secrets Manager ## Overview Use this skill to manage application secrets with AWS Secrets Manager from Java services. It focuses on the operational flow that matters in production: - how to retrieve and deserialize secrets safely - when to add local caching - how to integrate secret access into Spring Boot without leaking values into logs or configuration files Keep large API notes and extended setup details in the bundled references. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - replacing hardcoded passwords, API keys, or tokens with managed secrets - loading database credentials or third-party API credentials at runtime - adding caching to reduce Secrets Manager latency and API cost - handling secret version stages such as `AWSCURRENT` and `AWSPENDING` - wiring secret access into Spring Boot beans or configuration services - preparing rotation-aware applications or Lambda rotation workflows Typical trigger phrases include `java secrets manager`, `spring boot secret`, `aws secret cache`, `load db credentials from secrets manager`, and `rotate secret`. ## Instructions ### 1.
