Secret
A secret is the sensitive credential information (i.e., database credentials, account passwords, API keys, and SSH keys) used for the identity verification of an application. You can use SSM to store various types of sensitive data, such as sensitive addresses and IP ports, as the secret content in the format of Name-Value pairs.
Hardcoding
Hardcoding is the software development practice of embedding data directly into the source code of a program or other executable objects.
