Dynamic and Rotated Secrets with Akeyless
Create AWS and MySQL dynamic secrets and rotated secrets using Akeyless
Lab Overview
In this lab you will learn how to configure Akeyless dynamic and rotated secrets for AWS IAM credentials and MySQL databases. Dynamic secrets generate short-lived, on-demand credentials that are automatically revoked after their TTL expires. Rotated secrets periodically replace long-lived credentials with fresh ones. You will also deploy an Akeyless Gateway using Docker and connect it to your Akeyless account.
