AWS Secrets Manager adds managed external secrets support for Datadog vended keys and Snowflake Programmatic Access Tokens
AWS Secrets Manager now extends its managed external secrets capability to include Datadog Keys and Snowflake Programmatic Access Tokens (PATs). Managed external secrets enable customers to automatically rotate third-party credentials directly from AWS Secrets Manager by offering first-class integration with supported third-party services.

This incremental improvement simplifies security operations for organizations using AWS with Datadog and Snowflake, reducing manual effort and potential human error in managing sensitive credentials.
Customers can now automatically rotate specific Datadog and Snowflake credentials directly within AWS Secrets Manager, streamlining security processes and enhancing compliance.
