I am wanting to get the *`SecretString` value from AWS Secrets Manager. I'm using the AWS providers* `aws.secretsmanager.getSecretOutput` and am able to retrieve the secret object with all it's metadata, but not the JSON of the secret string that I need. I am considering using the `aws-sdk` but would have thought this is something Pulumi could do for me?

<@U043RAM0YNB> `getSecret` returns the secret itself, you actually need `getSecretVersion`:

(it’s because secretsmanager keeps lots of copies of secrets)

Thanks. I always though `getSecretsVersion`  would give me a number of the version, like 1, 2 or 3 :joy: . I didn't even bother to try it :flushed:
