credstash
A simple credential management and distribution system using AWS KMS for encryption and DynamoDB for storage.
What is credstash?
CredStash is a command-line utility for securely storing and retrieving secrets like database passwords and API keys in AWS environments. It solves the problem of credential management by using AWS KMS for encryption and DynamoDB for storage, providing a simple alternative to ad-hoc solutions like SCP'ing files or hardcoding secrets in version control.
DevOps engineers, cloud administrators, and developers working on AWS who need a straightforward way to manage and distribute credentials across their infrastructure without building a custom secrets management system.
Developers choose CredStash for its simplicity, tight integration with AWS services, and minimal setup overhead. It offers robust security using KMS and DynamoDB, versioning for credential rotation, and fine-grained access control through encryption contexts, all without requiring complex infrastructure.
