Using aws ssm with ses
TypeScriptIf you would like to use AWS Systems Manager (SSM) to manage configuration and secrets for your AWS Simple Email Service (SES), you can use Pulumi to codify this configuration into an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) setup.
Below is a TypeScript program using Pulumi to:
- Create an SES
EmailIdentity
resource representing an email address validated with SES for sending emails. - Create an SES
Template
resource for defining the content of the email that you will send. - Create an SSM
Document
that defines the operations or configurations to manage your SES resources or track their usage.
This Pulumi program will demonstrate how to provision the necessary resources on AWS to use SSM with SES. After deploying this code, you would be able to send emails through SES using the
EmailIdentity
, and further manage the service using the SSMDocument
.import * as aws from '@pulumi/aws'; // Create an SES email identity, which verifies the email address const emailIdentity = new aws.ses.EmailIdentity("my-email-identity", { email: "example@example.com" }); // Create an SES template, which defines the content of the emails to send const emailTemplate = new aws.ses.Template("my-email-template", { name: "MyTemplate", html: "<p>Your email content goes here</p>", subject: "Your email subject goes here", }); // Create an SSM document, which can help you manage SES configurations or operations const sesManagementDocument = new aws.ssm.Document("my-ses-management-document", { content: JSON.stringify({ schemaVersion: "2.2", description: "Document to manage SES email identities and templates", parameters: { EmailIdentity: { type: "String", description: "The verified email identity in SES." }, TemplateName: { type: "String", description: "The SES template to use for sending emails." } }, mainSteps: [ // ...Define the steps for managing SES resources... ] }), documentType: "Command", }); // Exporting the email identity ARN and template name so it can be used easily elsewhere export const emailIdentityArn = emailIdentity.arn; export const emailTemplateName = emailTemplate.name;
Here's an explanation of each part:
-
SES EmailIdentity: Represents an email address that you have verified with Amazon SES. This verification process proves that you own the email address.
-
SES Template: Allows you to define the subject line, HTML body, and text body of an email. This template can be used when sending emails to standardize content.
-
SSM Document: Defines a series of operations for managing resources or applications. Documents are the central resource for AWS Systems Manager. For demonstration, I've defined it as a
Command
type document, but in practical usage, you would define the actions inmainSteps
to manage SES resources based on your operations requirements.
Please note that the actual contents of the SSM document (
mainSteps
) would need to be crafted according to your specific operations, as they can contain a wide variety of actions depending on what aspects of SES you intend to manage or automate.- Create an SES
