aws-ssm-tools

AWS SSM

Tools for reading and writing SSM Parameters in bulk.

Installation

npm i -g aws-ssm-tools

Given you are logged into an AWS account (take a look at awsp) these commands will allow you to manage SSM Parameters in bulk.

To read all Parameters:

aws-ssm-read  

To write Parameters from one account to another:

# Dump the Parameters from one Account.
aws-ssm-read > env.json

# Switch into the taget AWS Account.
awsp

# Write the Parameters to the new Account (-o will overwrite Parameters). 
aws-ssm-write -f env.json -o

You can also use this tool to create .env files given an SSM Path. For example, the following will create a .env.dev file based on the SSM Parameters in the Development AWS Account.

# Switch into the Development AWS Account.
awsp

# Dump the Parameters to .env.dev
aws-ssm-read -p /project/app -e > .env.dev

To write a local .env.dev file to SSM under a path (all these will be written as an SSM String Type Parameters):

aws-ssm-write -p /project/app -e -f .env.dev
