Request for Secrets Manager a free plan "Reserved Insance" Customer

Since this week the Certificate Manager was moved off and replaced by the Secret Manager. We are using APIc v10 RI where there was a free plan for the certificate manager, which was perfect for us.


Now, we need to pay for the new Secret Manager 299$ per month which is way to much for managing ONE certificate for one instance.


We would like to ask to have a free plan for the secret manager or at least a lower cost limited use (maybe driven by number of CERTs) option.

    Really interested too, but pricing is prohibitive compared to AWS for example (ref https://aws.amazon.com/secrets-manager/pricing/)
