Recent Discoveries

RigD has discovered some exciting new activities recently. Here are a few of the details.

AWS Simple Systems Manager (SSM)

We added some activities focused on allowing you to manage SSM parameters. This is a big help when you have environment variables you want to reuse in many places or store securely.

• create ssm parameter – allows you to create an SSM parameter or update an existing one
• delete ssm parameter – allows you to delete a parameter
• list ssm parameters – allows you to list the parameters you have
• get ssm parameter – allows you to get the details for a parameter. You can choose to decrypt the value if it’s a secure string.
