You can either use this function in a `locals` block or directly inline where
you want to use the value.

The retrieval of single key secrets or plaintext secrets can be obtained by specifying (`null` or empty: `""`) as the `key`.
When obtaining secrets that have multiple keys you can set `key` to the specific key you would like
to fetch. For example, given the following secret with two keys if `key` is set to "shell" `aws_secretsmanager` will
return only its value.
```json
{
"test": "kitchen",
"shell": "powershell"
}
```
```hcl
locals {
secret = aws_secretsmanager("multikey/secret", "shell")
}
source "null" "first-example" {
communicator = "none"
}
build {
name = "my-build-name"
sources = ["null.first-example"]
provisioner "shell-local" {
environment_vars = ["TESTVAR=${build.PackerRunUUID}"]
inline = ["echo my_secret is '${local.secret}'"]
}
}
```
This will load the value `"powershell"` stored in the key `"shell"` behind `multikey/secret`.
In order to use this function you have to configure valid AWS credentials using
