The Secret English Version
Michelle Benitone
This topic describes how to access a secret version. Accessing a secret versionreturns the secret contents and additional metadata about the secretversion. When you access a secret version, you specify its version-idor alias if assigned. You can also access the latest version of asecret by specifying "latest" as the version.
Important: To use Secret Manager with workloads running on Compute Engine or Google Kubernetes Engine, the underlying instance or node must have the cloud-platform OAuth scope. See accessing the Secret Manager API for more information.
To get the permissions that you need to access a secret version, ask your administrator to grant you the Secret Manager Secret Accessor (roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor) IAM role on a secret. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access.

Might be a dumb question but is it expected that a destroyed version of a secret is still tagged as the current version? I would have expected current to be the non-deleted / non-destroyed latest version of the secret.
I noticed this as well, while wrapping the API in an app.
After destroying the latest version of a secret using DELETE /v1/secrets/ the very next GET (and all subsequent) returns the deleted secret version.
AWS Secrets Manager helps you manage, retrieve, and rotate database credentials, application credentials, OAuth tokens, API keys, and other secrets throughout their lifecycles. Many AWS services store and use secrets in Secrets Manager.
Secrets Manager helps you improve your security posture, because you no longer need hard-coded credentials in application source code. Storing the credentials in Secrets Manager helps avoid possible compromise by anyone who can inspect your application or the components. You replace hard-coded credentials with a runtime call to the Secrets Manager service to retrieve credentials dynamically when you need them.
With Secrets Manager, you can configure an automatic rotation schedule for your secrets. This enables you to replace long-term secrets with short-term ones, significantly reducing the risk of compromise. Since the credentials are no longer stored with the application, rotating credentials no longer requires updating your applications and deploying changes to application clients.
AWS Secrets Manager has undergone auditing for the multiple standards and can be part of your solution when you need to obtain compliance certification. For more information, see Compliance validation for AWS Secrets Manager.
When you use Secrets Manager, you pay only for what you use, with no minimum or setup fees. There is no charge for secrets that are marked for deletion. For the current complete pricing list, see AWS Secrets Manager Pricing. To monitor your costs, see Monitor Secrets Manager costs.
You can use the AWS managed key aws/secretsmanager that Secrets Manager creates to encrypt your secrets for free. If you create your own KMS keys to encrypt your secrets, AWS charges you at the current AWS KMS rate. For more information, see AWS Key Management Service Pricing.
When you turn on automatic rotation (except managed rotation), Secrets Manager uses an AWS Lambda function to rotate the secret, and you are charged for the rotation function at the current Lambda rate. For more information, see AWS Lambda Pricing.
If you enable AWS CloudTrail on your account, you can obtain logs of the API calls that Secrets Manager sends out. Secrets Manager logs all events as management events. AWS CloudTrail stores the first copy of all management events for free. However, you can incur charges for Amazon S3 for log storage and for Amazon SNS if you enable notification. Also, if you set up additional trails, the additional copies of management events can incur costs. For more information, see AWS CloudTrail pricing.
AWS CLI version 2, the latest major version of AWS CLI, is now stable and recommended for general use. To view this page for the AWS CLI version 2, click here. For more information see the AWS CLI version 2 installation instructions and migration guide.
Secrets Manager generates a CloudTrail log entry when you call this action. Do not include sensitive information in request parameters because it might be logged. For more information, see Logging Secrets Manager events with CloudTrail .
--cli-input-json (string)Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string)Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
Modifies the staging labels attached to a version of a secret. Secrets Manager uses staging labels to track a version as it progresses through the secret rotation process. Each staging label can be attached to only one version at a time. To add a staging label to a version when it is already attached to another version, Secrets Manager first removes it from the other version first and then attaches it to this one. For more information about versions and staging labels, see Concepts: Version .
The following update-secret-version-stage example moves the AWSCURRENT staging label to the previous version of a secret, which reverts the secret to the previous version. To find the ID for the previous version, use list-secret-version-ids. For this example, the version with the AWSCURRENT label is a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111 and the version with the AWSPREVIOUS label is a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE22222. In this example, you move the AWSCURRENT label from version 11111 to 22222. Because the AWSCURRENT label is removed from a version, update-secret-version-stage automatically moves the AWSPREVIOUS label to that version (11111). The effect is that the AWSCURRENT and AWSPREVIOUS versions are swapped.
The following update-secret-version-stage example adds a staging label to a version of a secret. You can review the results by running list-secret-version-ids and viewing the VersionStages response field for the affected version.
The following update-secret-version-stage example deletes a staging label that is attached to a version of a secret. You can review the results by running list-secret-version-ids and viewing the VersionStages response field for the affected version.
However, we have to change that secret every day (i.e. create a new version of that secret in the Key Vault and set an activation date for that secret) and would like to have the Function App automatically retrieve and use the new version as soon as its activated without having to manually change the Kev Vault reference to the new version of the secret.
If a version is not specified in the reference, then the app will use the latest version that exists in Key Vault. When newer versions become available, such as with a rotation event, the app will automatically update and begin using the latest version within one day. Any configuration changes made to the app will cause an immediate update to the latest versions of all referenced secrets.
Restarting your function will not help you in any way, since rotating the secret means that you also create a new version of the secret. This is probably also why it is not supported at the moment. AppService does not get notified when a new version is available, and you probably don't want your AppService to restart automatically when you update a secret in KeyVault.
You either need to fetch the latest active secret manually in your function code, or update the reference via some other method. I would probably prefer the first method, since it can work without having to restart your AppService.
