# `aws_secretsmanager_key` Function
Secrets can be read from the [AWS Secrets
Manager](https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/) and used within your template
as locals.
```hcl
aws_secretsmanager(name, key)
```
When key is not set (`null` or empty: `""`) then `aws_secretsmanager` returns
the first secret key stored in secret `name` using the `AWSCURRENT`.
You can either use this function in a `locals` block or directly inline where
you want to use the value.
```hcl
locals {
// null is equivalent to "AWSCURRENT"
current_version = aws_secretsmanager("my_secret", null)
}
source "null" "first-example" {
communicator = "none"
}
build {
name = "my-build-name"
sources = ["null.first-example"]
provisioner "shell-local" {
environment_vars = ["TESTVAR=${build.PackerRunUUID}"]
inline = ["echo current version is '${local.current_version}'",
"echo previous version is '${aws_secretsmanager("my_secret", "AWSPREVIOUS")}'."]
}
}
```
This will load the key stored at behind `my_secret` from aws secrets manager.
In order to use this function you have to configure valid AWS credentials using
one of the following methods:

- [CLI Configuration Files](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html)
