waddle 1.0

A pathy wrapper around aws parameter store

waddle

the penguins api and tooling around aws's parameter store

ParamBunch

Lets you access secrets stored in a file or from parameter store!

From a file

Create a file called test.yml that will hold your config.
It can include both secrets and non-secrets

meta:
  kms_key: dev
  region: us-west-2
  profile: mycompany
aws.username: aws-user

Now add a secret to that file using the waddle cli

waddle -f /path/to/test.yml aws.password

waddle will prompt you to enter in the secret. As long as you have a kms key called dev, waddle will add a kms-data-key-encrypted secret into test.yml.

Now you can access configuration values in the test.yml configuration file using the following syntax:

from waddle import ParamBunch
conf = ParamBunch(filename='/path/to/test.yml')
AWS_USERNAME = conf.aws.username
AWS_PASSWORD = conf.get('aws.password', 'some default value')

But I want to use parameter store

You can also load configs straight from AWS parameter store by providing a prefix.

from waddle import ParamBunch
conf = ParamBunch(prefix='/path/to/parameters')
# Access /path/to/paramaters/aws/username
AWS_USERNAME = conf.aws.username

want to waddle your secrets up to SSM from a file?

In certain cases, you may want to keep files locally, but then push them to aws as part of CI/CD. For example, if you want to keep a centralized repository of your secrets that is shared among developers, you can encrypt secrets in your config files using waddle. For application deployment, you can push those files up to ssm using waddle deploy and/or delete them from ssm using waddle undeploy.

waddle deploy -f /path/to/params.yml

• or -

waddle undeploy -f /path/to/params.yml

Bunch

A class that offers pathy semantics to access values in a dictionary.

Bunch -- general usage

e.g.,

from waddle import Bunch
values = {
    'a': {
        'b': {
            'c': True,
            'd': False,
        },        
    },
}
a = Bunch(values)
assert a.b.c == True
assert a.b.d == False
a.cat.name = 'mycat'
assert a['cat.name'] == 'mycat'
assert 'cat.age' in a == False
assert a.get('cat.age', 22) == 22
assert a.setdefault('cat.age', 45) == 45

Bunch -- env

You can use the built-in env function to use the dictionary as a set of default values that can be overridden by environment variables.

e.g.,

import os
from waddle import Bunch
os.environ['FTP_PASSWORD'] = 'password'
config = {
    'ftp': {
        'host': '127.0.0.1',
        'user': 'user',
    }
}
config = Bunch(config)
env = config.env()
assert env('FTP_PASSWORD') == 'password'
assert env('FTP_HOST') == '127.0.0.1'
