Datadog API Key Rotation on AWS

As we know, The Datadog Agent uses the REST API to communicate with the Datadog servers and send data to be processed and analyzed. The REST API is a set of HTTP endpoints that the Agent can send requests to in order to perform various tasks, such as sending metrics, events, and traces, as well as configuring the Agent itself.

When you install the Datadog Agent, you need to configure it with an API key. This key is used to authenticate the Agent with the Datadog servers and ensure that only authorized users can access the data being sent.
