Data Source: aws_ssm_parameter

Provides an SSM Parameter data source.

Example Usage

To store a basic string parameter:

data "aws_ssm_parameter" "foo" {
  name  = "foo"
}

Note: The unencrypted value of a SecureString will be stored in the raw state as plain-text. Read more about sensitive data in state.

Note: The data source is currently following the behavior of the SSM API to return a string value, regardless of parameter type. For type StringList, we can use split() built-in function to get values in a list. Example: split(",", data.aws_ssm_parameter.subnets.value)
