How Amazon Direct Connect uses Amazon Secrets Manager

Amazon Direct Connect links your internal network to an Amazon Direct Connect location over a standard Ethernet fiber-optic cable. With this connection, you can create virtual interfaces directly to public Amazon Web Services services.

Amazon Direct Connect stores a connectivity association key name and connectivity association key pair (CKN/CAK pair) in a managed secret with the prefix directconnect. The cost of the secret is included with the charge for Amazon Direct Connect. To update the secret, you must use Amazon Direct Connect rather than Secrets Manager. For more information, see Associate a MACsec CKN/CAK with a LAG in the Amazon Direct Connect User Guide.
