How do I configure an aws ssm parameter with Pulumi?

In this guide, we will walk through the steps to configure an AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Parameter using Pulumi. AWS SSM Parameter Store is a service that allows you to manage configuration data and secrets as parameter values. We will use Pulumi to define and deploy a parameter to the AWS SSM Parameter Store.

Below is the TypeScript code to create an SSM Parameter using Pulumi:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an SSM Parameter
const ssmParameter = new aws.ssm.Parameter("myParameter", {
    type: "String", // The type of the parameter (String, StringList, SecureString)
    value: "myParameterValue", // The value of the parameter
    description: "This is a sample parameter", // A description of the parameter
    tags: { // Tags to associate with the parameter
        Environment: "Dev",
        Project: "PulumiDemo"
    }
});

// Export the name of the parameter
export const parameterName = ssmParameter.name;

Key Points

• We import the necessary Pulumi and AWS libraries.
• We create a new aws.ssm.Parameter resource, specifying the parameter’s type, value, description, and tags.
• We export the name of the created parameter.

Summary

In this guide, we configured an AWS SSM Parameter using Pulumi. We defined the parameter’s type, value, description, and tags, and deployed it to AWS SSM Parameter Store. This setup allows you to manage configuration data and secrets efficiently using Pulumi.
