```python  theme={null}
read_secret(secret_name: str, aws_credentials: AwsCredentials, version_id: Optional[str] = None, version_stage: Optional[str] = None) -> Union[str, bytes]
```

Reads the value of a given secret from AWS Secrets Manager.

**Args:**

* `secret_name`: Name of stored secret.
* `aws_credentials`: Credentials to use for authentication with AWS.
* `version_id`: Specifies version of secret to read. Defaults to the most recent
  version if not given.
* `version_stage`: Specifies the version stage of the secret to read. Defaults to
  AWS\_CURRENT if not given.

**Returns:**

* The secret values as a `str` or `bytes` depending on the format in which the
  secret was stored.

### `update_secret` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-aws/prefect_aws/secrets_manager.py#L83" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
update_secret(secret_name: str, secret_value: Union[str, bytes], aws_credentials: AwsCredentials, description: Optional[str] = None) -> Dict[str, str]
```

  name, and current version ID.

```python  theme={null}
{
    "ARN": str,
    "Name": str,
    "VersionId": str
}
```

* `secret_value`: The value to store in the created secret.
* `aws_credentials`: Credentials to use for authentication with AWS.
* `description`: A description for the created secret.

    aws_credentials = AwsCredentials(
        aws_access_key_id="access_key_id",
        aws_secret_access_key="secret_access_key"
    )
    create_secret(
        secret_name="life_the_universe_and_everything",

### `delete_secret` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/blob/main/src/integrations/prefect-aws/prefect_aws/secrets_manager.py#L249" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>

```python  theme={null}
delete_secret(secret_name: str, aws_credentials: AwsCredentials, recovery_window_in_days: int = 30, force_delete_without_recovery: bool = False) -> Dict[str, str]
```

Deletes a secret from AWS Secrets Manager.

Secrets can either be deleted immediately by setting `force_delete_without_recovery`
equal to `True`. Otherwise, secrets will be marked for deletion and available for
recovery for the number of days specified in `recovery_window_in_days`

**Args:**

* `secret_name`: Name of the secret to be deleted.
* `aws_credentials`: Credentials to use for authentication with AWS.
* `recovery_window_in_days`: Number of days a secret should be recoverable for
  before permanent deletion. Minimum window is 7 days and maximum window
  is 30 days. If `force_delete_without_recovery` is set to `True`, this
  value will be ignored.
* `force_delete_without_recovery`: If `True`, the secret will be immediately
  deleted and will not be recoverable.

**Returns:**

* A dict containing the secret ARN (Amazon Resource Name),
  name, and deletion date of the secret. DeletionDate is the date and
  time of the delete request plus the number of days in
  `recovery_window_in_days`.

```python  theme={null}
{
    "ARN": str,
    "Name": str,
    "DeletionDate": datetime.datetime
}
```

**Examples:**

Delete a secret immediately:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect import flow
from prefect_aws import AwsCredentials
from prefect_aws.secrets_manager import delete_secret

@flow
def example_delete_secret_immediately():
    aws_credentials = AwsCredentials(
        aws_access_key_id="access_key_id",
        aws_secret_access_key="secret_access_key"
    )
    delete_secret(
        secret_name="life_the_universe_and_everything",
        aws_credentials=aws_credentials,
        force_delete_without_recovery: True
    )

example_delete_secret_immediately()
```

Delete a secret with a 90 day recovery window:

```python  theme={null}
from prefect import flow
from prefect_aws import AwsCredentials
from prefect_aws.secrets_manager import delete_secret

@flow
def example_delete_secret_with_recovery_window():
    aws_credentials = AwsCredentials(
        aws_access_key_id="access_key_id",
        aws_secret_access_key="secret_access_key"
    )
    delete_secret(
        secret_name="life_the_universe_and_everything",
        aws_credentials=aws_credentials,
        recovery_window_in_days=90
    )
