New integrations in AWS Secrets Manager permit automatic rotation of Jenkins API tokens and SonarQube User, Global Analysis, and Project Analysis tokens directly through the AWS console. The service supports self-rotation and admin-assisted rotation workflows, ensuring uninterrupted CI/CD pipelines and secure token management.

For Jenkins, token replacement occurs only after verification of the new token's activation, minimizing operational disruption. These capabilities complement existing managed external secret integrations with other third-party services, broadening secure secret management options for developers and DevOps teams.
