• When developing Java applications that require secure handling of sensitive information.
• When automating tasks that involve rotating or updating secrets in an AWS environment.
• When building microservices that rely on external configuration stored securely in the cloud.

Key capabilities

• Retrieve secrets from AWS Secrets Manager using Java v2 SDK.
