go-ssm-aws

A thin go client that interfaces with AWS SSM.

Why this package?

This package is a thin wrapper over the aws-sdk-go and hides the complexity dealing with the GO AWS SDK. A good use case for this package is when secure parameters for an application are stored in AWS Parameter Store. During application startup this package can be used to fetch the params (typically DB Hostname, username, password etc) and can be used in the application.

Example

Installation

go get -u github.com/IamMayankThakur/go-ssm-aws

Basic Usage

    // If the following parameters are present in SSM:
    // /path/to/key  -> with value "value" 

    import ssm "github.com/IamMayankThakur/go-ssm-aws"

    cfg := ssm.Config {
        Enabled: true
        SecretsPath: "/path/to"
        Region: "us-east-1"
    }
    ssmClient, err := ssm.New(&cfg)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    // And getting a specific value
    value, err := ssmClient.GetValueByName("key", true)
    // value should be "value"
