Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

AWS Secrets Manager is the best solution for securely storing and managing sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords. Secrets Manager provides automatic rotation, fine-grained access control, and encryption of credentials. It is designed to integrate easily with other AWS services, such as CloudFormation, to automate the retrieval of secrets via the BatchGetSecretValue API.

Secrets Manager has a lower operational overhead than manually managing credentials, and it offers features like automatic secret rotation that reduce the need for human intervention.

Option A and C (Parameter Store): While Systems Manager Parameter Store can store secrets, Secrets Manager provides more specialized capabilities for securely managing and rotating credentials with less operational overhead.

Option B and C (AWS Batch): Introducing AWS Batch unnecessarily complicates the solution. Secrets Manager already provides simple API calls for retrieving secrets without needing an additional service.
