The service specifically designed to lifecycle manage confidential information such as database login details and API access keys is AWS Secrets Manager. It aids in the secure storage and rotation of these types of secrets. Other AWS services, such as KMS, focus on encryption key management; IAM focuses on users, groups, and permissions; and Parameter Store does store configuration and secrets but with different capabilities and without the rotation feature by default.
