# AWS Secrets Manager Sync

> Learn how to configure an AWS Secrets Manager Sync for Infisical.

**Prerequisites:**

* Set up and add secrets to [Infisical Cloud](https://app.infisical.com)
* Create an [AWS Connection](/integrations/app-connections/aws) with the required **Secret Sync** permissions
* Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this secret sync provider, if network restrictions apply.

    2. Select the **AWS Secrets Manager** option.

    3. Configure the **Source** from where secrets should be retrieved, then click **Next**.

       * **Environment**: The project environment to retrieve secrets from.
       * **Secret Path**: The folder path to retrieve secrets from.

    <Tip>
      If you need to sync secrets from multiple folder locations, check out [secret imports](/documentation/platform/secret-reference#secret-imports).
    </Tip>

    4. Configure the **Destination** to where secrets should be deployed, then click **Next**.

       * **AWS Connection**: The AWS Connection to authenticate with.
       * **Region**: The AWS region to deploy secrets to.
       * **Mapping Behavior**: Specify how Infisical should map secrets to AWS Secrets Manager:
         * **One-To-One**: Each Infisical secret will be mapped to a separate AWS Secrets Manager secret.
         * **Many-To-One**: All Infisical secrets will be mapped to a single AWS Secrets Manager secret.
       * **Secret Name**: Specifies the name of the AWS Secret to map secrets to if **Many-To-One** mapping behavior is selected.

    5. Configure the **Sync Options** to specify how secrets should be synced, then click **Next**.

           <img src="https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/aws-secrets-manager-options.png" alt="Configure Options" />

       * **Initial Sync Behavior**: Determines how Infisical should resolve the initial sync.
         * **Overwrite Destination Secrets**: Removes any secrets at the destination endpoint not present in Infisical.
         * **Import Secrets (Prioritize Infisical)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Infisical over Secrets Manager when keys conflict.
         * **Import Secrets (Prioritize AWS Secrets Manager)**: Imports secrets from the destination endpoint before syncing, prioritizing values from Secrets Manager over Infisical when keys conflict.
       * **Key Schema**: Template that determines how secret names are transformed when syncing, using `{{secretKey}}` as a placeholder for the original secret name and `{{environment}}` for the environment.

           <Note>
             We highly recommend using a Key Schema to ensure that Infisical only manages the specific keys you intend, keeping everything else untouched.
           </Note>

       * **KMS Key**: The AWS KMS key ID or alias to encrypt secrets with.
       * **Tags**: Optional tags to add to secrets synced by Infisical.
       * **Sync Secret Metadata as Tags**: If enabled, metadata attached to secrets will be added as tags to secrets synced by Infisical.

           <Note>
             Manually configured tags from the **Tags** field will take precedence over secret metadata when tag keys conflict.
           </Note>

       * **Auto-Sync Enabled**: If enabled, secrets will automatically be synced from the source location when changes occur. Disable to enforce manual syncing only.
       * **Disable Secret Deletion**: If enabled, Infisical will not remove secrets from the sync destination. Enable this option if you intend to manage some secrets manually outside of Infisical.

    6. Configure the **Details** of your Secrets Manager Sync, then click **Next**.

       * **Name**: The name of your sync. Must be slug-friendly.
       * **Description**: An optional description for your sync.

    7. Review your Secrets Manager Sync configuration, then click **Create Sync**.

    8. If enabled, your Secrets Manager Sync will begin syncing your secrets to the destination endpoint.

  <Tab title="API">
    To create an **AWS Secrets Manager Sync**, make an API request to the [Create AWS
    Secrets Manager Sync](/api-reference/endpoints/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager/create) API endpoint.

    ### Sample request

    ```bash Request theme={"dark"}
    curl    --request POST \
    --url https://app.infisical.com/api/v1/secret-syncs/aws-secrets-manager \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{
