Question

An open-source map application gathers data from several geolocation APIs. The application's source code repository is public and can be used by anyone, but the geolocation APIs must not be directly accessible. A developer must implement a solution to prevent the credentials that are used to access the APIs from becoming public. The solution also must ensure that the application still functions properly. Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Explanation

Secrets Manager: It is paid. The storage cost is $0.40 per secret per month and API interactions cost is $0.05 per 10,000 API calls. Parameter Store: For Standard parameters, No additional charge for storage and standard throughput. For higher throughput, API interactions cost is $0.05 per 10,000 API calls. For Advanced parameters, storage cost is $0.05 per advanced parameter per month and API interactions cost is $0.05 per 10,000 API calls. https://aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/pricing/
