In this video, we build a real AWS security project where a Python application running on an EC2 instance securely connects to a MySQL database without hardcoding credentials.
We use AWS Secrets Manager to store database credentials securely and AWS KMS to encrypt the secret. The EC2 instance retrieves the credentials dynamically using an IAM role and Python (boto3).
This project demonstrates how cloud architects and developers follow security best practices when handling sensitive information like database passwords.
Services used in this project:
Amazon EC2
AWS Secrets Manager
AWS Key Management Service
MySQL Database
Python (boto3, pymysql)
What you will learn:
Launch EC2 and install MySQL
Create and encrypt secrets using AWS Secrets Manager
Create a KMS key for encryption
Attach IAM Role to EC2
Retrieve secrets securely using Python
Connect to MySQL without exposing passwords
This is a great hands-on AWS security project for beginners, cloud engineers, and AWS Solutions Architect learners.#AWS
