awsparams 0.9.12

A simple CLI and Library for adding/removing/renaming/copying AWS Param Store Parameters

Why this script?

The current (Jul 2017) AWS Console for the Systems Manager Parameter Store is good for adding and editing the values of parameters, but misses key productivity functions like copying (especially en mass), renaming, etc. The current aws ssm CLI is very similar in functionality to the AWS Console.

This script is to automate a lot of the manual work currently needed with the existing AWS-provided UIs.

Installation

• Install Python 3.6 with your favorite method. We recommend apt-get or rpm on linux, homebrew on mac and here on windows.
• pip3.6 install awsparams

Usage

As a Library:

from awsparams.awsparams import get_parameter, get_all_parameters, get_parameter_value

#get a single parameter
param = get_parameter('test1', values=True, decryption=True)
# {'Name': 'test1', 'Value': 'test123', 'Type': 'SecureString', 'KeyId': 'alias/aws/ssm'}

# get multiple parameters with a prefix/pattern
params = get_all_parameters(profile=None, pattern="testing.testing.", values=True, decryption=True)
# [{'Name': 'testing.testing.testing', 'Value': '1234', 'Type': 'String'}, {'Name': 'testing.testing.testing2', 'Value': '1234', 'Type': 'String'}]

# get just a parameter value
value = get_parameter_value('test1', decryption=True, profile=None)
# test123

ls by prefix: awsparams ls appname.prd

new usage

new interactively: awsparams new

new non-interactive: awsparams new --name appname.prd.usrname --value parameter_value --description parameter_descripton

cp usage

copy a parameter: awsparams cp appname.prd.username newappname.prd.username

copy set of parameters with prefix appname.dev. to appname.prd.: awsparams cp appname.dev. appname.prd. --prefix

copy set of parameters starting with prefix repometa-generator.prd overwrite existing parameters accross different accounts: awsparams cp repometa-generator.prd --src_profile=dev --dst_profile=trn --prefix=True

copy single parameters accross different accounts: awsparams cp appname.dev.username appname.trb.us
