AWS SecretsManager: How to layout
I am using Terraform to create multiple AWS SecretsManager.
Should I layout them this way:
at TEAM1/REGION1/EC2, set Secret Key and Secret Value as:
ec2_username = guest
ec2_password = password1
at TEAM1/REGION1/RDS, set Secret Key and Secret Value as:
rds_username = admin
rds_password = password2
Or should I layout them this way:
at TEAM1/REGION1, set Secret Key and Secret Value as:
ec2_username = guest
ec2_password = password1
rds_username = admin
rds_password = password2
The first way is easy for me to use IAM to control access. and we can choose to enable password rotation for ec2 login, disable password rotation in rds, etc.
The second way is easy for me to manage and search. Assume we have a lot of teams, each team has multiple services. The information of the same team will be group together, like using folders to organize files.
Which one should I use?
The other question is: using terraform, look like I need to create a dummy secret key and value and then manually add the real one from console. Is it how a secrets manager is setup using terraform?

What makes you think Terraform can't manage the secrets values directly? What have you tried doing with Terraform so far? Also, this is really 2 questions so you should consider splitting them into separate questions so they can be answered more specifically.
