About:
Chamber is a CLI tool that utilizes AWS SSM Parameter Store to securely store, manage, and version application secrets. It enables teams to treat secrets as code, facilitating easy integration into CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows. The tool provides robust features for secret rotation and auditing, enhancing security posture for cloud-native applications.
Key Features:
  • Encrypts secrets using AWS KMS
  • Versioning and history for all secrets
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines
  • Audit logging of secret access
  • Command-line interface for easy automation
Use Cases:
  • Managing database credentials and API keys in production environments
  • Deploying secrets to Kubernetes clusters securely
  • Automating secret rotation in DevOps workflows
Alternatives:
  • AWS Secrets Manager – Native AWS solution with automatic rotation but higher cost compared to Chamber's use of SSM Parameter Store.
  • HashiCorp Vault – A multi-cloud secret management tool that offers more complex features but requires self-hosting or managed services.
  • sops – Editor for encrypted files that works with various KMS providers, focusing on file-level encryption rather than a centralized parameter store.
