Amazon Elastic Beanstalk now enables customers to reference Amazon Systems Manager Parameter Store parameters and Amazon Secrets Manager secrets in environment variables. This new integration provides developers with a native method for accessing data from these services in their application.

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk is a service that provides the ability to deploy and manage applications in Amazon Web Services without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. With this integration, Elastic Beanstalk customers can now reference information stored in Secrets Manager and Parameter Store from their application. Developers can reference resources from these services directly in Elastic Beanstalk environment variables using Amazon Resource Names (ARNs), benefiting from automatic encryption at rest and in transit. This eliminates the need for application redeployment when configuration values change, simplifying operations and enhancing security.

This functionality is now available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.

To learn more about using Parameter Store and Secrets Manager with Elastic Beanstalk, see the Parameter Store and Secrets Manager Section in the Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide. For additional information, visit the Amazon Elastic Beanstalk product page.
