US Patent 12086233 Lifecycle management of secrets on serverless platform

An orchestration engine intermittently scans secrets, of different secret types, to identify secrets that are to be rotated. The orchestration engine calls an application programming interface (API) exposed by a serverless management system and wakes up the serverless management system. The serverless management system generates a new secret, stores the new secret for rotation, and interacts with a dependent system in order to revoke an old secret and implement the new secret. Once the secret is rotated, and the new secret is implemented, the orchestration engine stores the new secret in a secret store.
