ssmash 1.0.0

SSM AppConfig Storage Helper

ssmash

ssmash, the SSM AppConfig Storage Helper, is an easy-to-use application configuration management tool for AWS deployments. You specify hierarchical configuration values in a simple YAML file, and ssmash will turn that into an AWS CloudFormation file that stores your configuration values in the SSM Parameter Store.

Installation

Install ssmash using pip, the standard python package installer:

$ pip install ssmash

Example

Suppose you have an input file like this:

acme:
    shipping-labels-service:
        block-coyotes: true
        explosive-purchase-limit: 1000
        greeting: hello world

Then run ssmash:

$ ssmash acme_prod_config.yaml cloud_formation_template.yaml
$ aws cloudformation deploy \
    --stack-name "acme-prod-config" --template-file cloud_formation_template.yaml \
    --no-fail-on-empty-changeset

You will now have the following parameters in AWS Systems Manager, that can be loaded as a string inside your application:

• /acme/shipping-labels-service/block-coyotes = “true”

• /acme/shipping-labels-service/explosive-purchase-limit = “1000”

• /acme/shipping-labels-service/greeting = “hello world”
