AWS Key Management Service
Add AWS Key Management Service to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed an AWS Key Management Service integration so your customers can review key inventory, aliases, and rotation state from inside your product, with access scoped per tenant and every call recorded. Only the scopes needed for the actions you enable are requested, which matters more here than almost anywhere else.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers read key inventory, aliases, and rotation status into your product.
Surface keys that are disabled or pending deletion so risk is visible.
Read key policies so your product can flag over-permissive access.
Trigger your product when a key's state or rotation status changes.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent checks whether a key has rotated within policy before reporting.
An agent reads a key policy to explain who can use it.
An agent reacts to a key scheduled for deletion and raises it to the owner.
Example prompt
List customer-managed keys with automatic rotation disabled and who last used each.
Set up AWS Key Management Service in 4 steps
- 01Open the AWS Key Management Service connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their AWS account with least-privilege read scopes.
- 03Map the accounts and regions your product covers, then enable the actions you need.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the AWS Key Management Service integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship an AWS Key Management Service integration without building it. Your customers connect their own AWS Key Management Service account inside your product and work their secrets, keys and certificates there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: an expired certificate or an unrotated key is an outage rather than a warning, and it arrives without notice. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an AWS Key Management Service update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed AWS Key Management Service connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you fetch a credential at the point of use instead of storing it yourself without wiring it twice.

PagerDutyAWS Key Management Service integration FAQ
How do I add an AWS Key Management Service integration to my product?
Enable the AWS Key Management Service connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own AWS Key Management Service account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no AWS Key Management Service client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own AWS Key Management Service account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own AWS Key Management Service account and only ever sees their own secrets, keys and certificates. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this AWS Key Management Service integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent checks whether a key has rotated within policy before reporting.
Who maintains the AWS Key Management Service integration?
fastn does. When AWS Key Management Service changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Does my product ever hold the customer's AWS Key Management Service secret?
No longer than the call needs it. Values are fetched under the customer's own credentials at the point of use and never written into your database, and every read is logged per tenant so an access can be traced to what asked for it.
Can rotation and expiry be handled automatically?
Yes, within the permissions the customer grants, and audited. This matters more here than almost anywhere else: an expired certificate or an unrotated key takes something down rather than raising a warning first.
What can I build with the AWS Key Management Service integration?
A common starting point: read key inventory, aliases, and rotation status into your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the AWS Key Management Service integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding AWS Key Management Service does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
