Ability to use a secrets manager secret to set the master password

[ptmclean]

This is a feature request rather than an issue.

I'd like t o be able to use secrets manager to manage my secrets rather than specify the master password directly in cloudformation source code.

For the stacks I have at the moment I have created a bit of a copy of your projects for an aws secret here, it's also published here if you want to try it out.

Then I would like to be able to use this stack as the provider for the password using something like #4 with code like this...

  Key:
    Type: 'AWS::CloudFormation::Stack'
    Properties:
      Parameters:
        AlertingModule: !GetAtt 'Alerting.Outputs.StackName'
      TemplateURL: './node_modules/@cfn-modules/kms-key/module.yml'
  MySqlMasterPassword:
    Type: 'AWS::CloudFormation::Stack'
    Properties:
      Parameters:
        KmsKeyModule: !GetAtt 'Key.Outputs.StackName'
        Name: "SQL/Prod/MASTER-PASSWORD"
      TemplateURL: './node_modules/cfn-modules-secret/module.yml'
  AuroraServerlessCluster:
    Type: 'AWS::CloudFormation::Stack'
    Properties:
      Parameters:
        VpcModule: !GetAtt 'Vpc.Outputs.StackName'
        AlertingModule: !GetAtt 'Alerting.Outputs.StackName'
        ClientSgModule: !GetAtt 'ClientSg.Outputs.StackName'
        KmsKeyModule: !GetAtt 'Key.Outputs.StackName'
        DBName: 'finance_tracker'
        DBMasterUsername: 'master'
        DBMasterUserPasswordSecretModule: !GetAtt 'MySqlMasterPassword.Outputs.StackName'
      TemplateURL: './node_modules/@cfn-modules/rds-aurora-serverless/module.yml'

This will probably need some discussion so I guess this is very much a work in progress. If you think it would be a good idea, I would be very happy if the code moves from here into this organisation and then a PR to allow it's use in this repo.

that's great! I'm happy with the new secret module and it's integration into the aurora module. If you are fine with moving the repo over to the cfn-modules org that's fine for me. Otherwise, we can also fork your repo. Let me know what you think :)

Happy to transfer ptmclean/secret. That is probably the cleanest way. I think I need permission to create repositories in the the cfn-modules organisation to do that. If that's right then could you grant that and then I'll transfer.

done

[ptmclean]

Thanks for that! I have transferred the repo. There are a few things still needed there, in particular, the build/package upload. There may be other things, it would certainly be worth a once over. Let me know if you would like me to look at anything with cfn-modules/secret. When I get a chance I'll clean up #4 to allow use of this module in the Aurora module.

Thanks @ptmclean I added you as a collaborator to the new repository (invite link should be in your inbox). I will add all the needed stuff including tests now.
