Workarounds

  1. 95% success Verify the secret name and region: aws secretsmanager list-secrets --region <region> 
    Secret names are case-sensitive and region-specific

    Sources: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/secretsmanager/latest/userguide/manage_search-secret.html

  2. 88% success If recently deleted, restore it: aws secretsmanager restore-secret --secret-id <name> 
    Secrets in the recovery window can be restored

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Creating a new secret with the same name immediately after deletion 70% fail

    Deleted secrets have a recovery window (7-30 days) during which the name is reserved

  2. Hardcoding the secret value in code 90% fail

    Security violation; secrets in code get committed to version control
