Description

Over in https://github.com/getsops/sops/issues/1105, there is a request to add publish support for AWS Parameter Store. I second that and also need support for AWS Secrets Manager. I was studying how the publish mechanism works and prepared for additional destinations by fixing the destination logic, https://github.com/getsops/sops/pull/1936. I've looked through the open issues and I see mention of a plugin framework, https://github.com/getsops/sops/issues/1352, so that sops doesn't have to support all of these various encrypt / publish mechanisms, but I don't think that work has been completed. Would you be open for contributions that add support for Secrets Manager and/or Parameter Store?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing publish mechanism and the destination-logic changes in pull request #1936, then read issues #1105 and #1352 for the related Parameter Store and plugin proposals. The requested scope is ambiguous between Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, so clarify that before implementation; done means an agreed destination design with support for the selected AWS service.
