  <summary>Sample file for adding a secret</summary>

  ```hcl
  resource "selectel_secretsmanager_secret_v1" "secret_1" {
    key         = "secret"
    value       = "verysecret"
    project_id  = selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1.id
    description = "secret from .tf"
  }
  ```
</details>

## 1. Optional: configure providers \{#configure-providers}

If you have [configured the Selectel and OpenStack providers](/terraform/configure-terraform-environment/#configure-providers), skip this step.

<ConfigureProviders />

## 2. Add a secret \{#add-secret}

```hcl
resource "selectel_secretsmanager_secret_v1" "secret_1" {
  key         = "secret"
  value       = "verysecret"
  project_id  = selectel_vpc_project_v2.project_1.id
  description = "secret from .tf"
}
```

Where:

* `key` — secret name;
* `value` — secret value;
* `description` — secret description.

See the detailed resource description for [selectel\_secretsmanager\_secret\_v1](/terraform/selectel-provider-reference/resources/secretsmanager_secret_v1/).
