SSM

Systems Manager — Parameter Store (hierarchical paths, secure strings, tiered types) and Run Command (SendCommand runs a script in an instance's container).

JSON-RPC (X-Amz-Target) multi-tenant 16 operations

Quick start

import boto3
ssm = boto3.client("ssm", endpoint_url="http://localhost:4566",
                   region_name="us-east-1",
                   aws_access_key_id="test", aws_secret_access_key="test")
ssm.put_parameter(Name="/app/db", Value="jdbc:...", Type="String")
print(ssm.get_parameter(Name="/app/db")["Parameter"]["Value"])

CloudFormation

The CloudFormation engine provisions these resource types via this service:

AWS::SSM::Parameter

See CloudFormation engine for intrinsic support and lifecycle details.

Known limitations

  • Run Command is supported: SendCommand runs AWS-RunShellScript in an instance's container, with GetCommandInvocation / ListCommands / DescribeInstanceInformation. Session Manager and Patch Manager are not implemented.
