(lambda): Provide a way to provision secrets in lambdas similar to ECS
See original GitHub issueThe Question
Hi, what is the recommended way to provision secrets in lambda functions?
I was looking at the definition of the DockerImageFunction and was hoping to find a secrets property similar to ContainerDefinition in ECS module but did not see anything like that, only environment.
AWS docs seem to indicate that this is possible through Cloudformation, though I might be missunderstanding?
Another option is to store passwords in AWS Secrets Manager secrets. You can reference the secret in your AWS CloudFormation templates to set passwords on databases. You can also set the value of an environment variable on the Lambda function. For an example, see the next section.
Environment
- CDK CLI Version: 1.77.0 (build a941c53)
- Module Version: 1.77
- Node.js Version: v14.14.0
- OS: Docker Alpine on MacOS Big Sur
- Language (Version): Typescript
Thank you!

@schlichtanders Has there been an announcement or something to indicate that the docs would be different? Afaik nothing has changed and nija-at’s statements are all still true.
@nija-at can you point to the new documentation how to provision secrets in lambda similar to ECS?
