Terraform module for providing read and write access to the AWS SSM Parameter Store.

This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

• AWS Details on what values can be used
• AWS API for PutParameter
• Terraform aws_ssm_parameter resource page
• Terraform aws_ssm_parameter data page

IMPORTANT: The master branch is used in source just as an example. In your code, do not pin to master because there may be breaking changes between releases. Instead pin to the release tag (e.g. ?ref=tags/x.y.z) of one of our latest releases.

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

This example creates a new String parameter called /cp/prod/app/database/master_password with the value of password1.

module "store_write" {
  source          = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ssm-parameter-store?ref=master"

  parameter_write = [
    {
      name        = "/cp/prod/app/database/master_password"
      value       = "password1"
      type        = "String"
      overwrite   = "true"
      description = "Production database master password"
    }
  ]

  tags = {
    ManagedBy = "Terraform"
  }
}

This example reads a value from the parameter store with the name /cp/prod/app/database/master_password

module "store_read" {
  source         = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ssm-parameter-store?ref=master"
  parameter_read = ["/cp/prod/app/database/master_password"]
}
