AWS Workload Credentials Provider is now available as a one-click install for Linux and Windows

Today, AWS Secrets Manager announces one-click installation for the AWS Workload Credentials Provider (AWCP) on Amazon Linux and Windows, reducing setup from a multi-step build-from-source process to a single command.

AWCP resolves secrets from AWS Secrets Manager and caches them locally, enabling applications to retrieve secrets over a local HTTP endpoint. AWCP also enables you to pull your certificates from AWS Certificate Manager. Previously, customers who wanted to use AWCP on Amazon EC2 instances had approximately 6 steps, starting from cloning the Github repository to compiling the binary and setting up configurations. This multi-step process required every developer to learn Rust expertise and build infrastructure.

Now, customers can download pre-built, signed binaries for Linux (x86_64 and ARM64) and Windows (x64) directly from a public download URL. Along with this, AWCP is now available in the Amazon Linux repository. Amazon Linux EC2 customers can install it in one command. All binaries are code-signed to ensure integrity and authenticity, and deliver a ready-to-run agent with in-memory secret caching.

AWS Workload Credentials Provider one-click install is available on Amazon Linux 2023 (x86_64 and ARM64) and Windows Server (x64) in all AWS Regions where AWS Secrets Manager is available, at no additional cost beyond standard Secrets Manager pricing.
