Task17: Create a secret in AWS Secrets Manager named datacenter-app-secret with the following secret string: {"db_user":"admin","db_pass":"supersecret"}
My solution:
resource “aws_secretsmanager_secret_version” “datacenter-app-secret-version” {
secret_id = aws_secretsmanager_secret.datacenter-app-secret.id
secret_string = jsonencode({
“db_user” = “admin”
“db_pass” = “supersecret”
})
}
My verification:
bob@iac-server ~/terraform via 
default ➜ aws secretsmanager get-secret-value --secret-id datacenter-app-secret
{
“ARN”: “arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:000000000000:secret:datacenter-app-secret-HAEZVl”,
“Name”: “datacenter-app-secret”,
“VersionId”: “terraform-20250712213041210500000002”,
“SecretString”: “{"db_pass":"supersecret","db_user":"admin"}”,
“VersionStages”: [
“AWSCURRENT”
],
“CreatedDate”: 1752355841.0
}
But task verification failed with below message:
Secret content does not match expected value.
Can you please check and clarify whether secret_string should be created like “{"db_user":"admin","db_pass":"supersecret"}” instead of jsonencode() or something like sensitive input variables…
