What is the feature/fix?
Instead of passing the API password to the rack as plain text, it will store the password on SSM Parameter Store and then pass it as a secret to the task definition.
AWS charges to keep and use the Secret Manager, it would increase the user cost to store the password, the SSM is a cheaper alternative.
Does it has a breaking change?
No
How to use/test it?
Update/create a rack using the RC, then use it normally, it should not interfere in the user experience.
