StringParameter

class aws_cdk.aws_ssm.StringParameter(scope, id, *, string_value, type=None, allowed_pattern=None, description=None, parameter_name=None, simple_name=None, tier=None)

Bases: aws_cdk.core.Resource

Creates a new String SSM Parameter.

resource: :resource:: AWS::SSM::Parameter

__init__(scope, id, *, string_value, type=None, allowed_pattern=None, description=None, parameter_name=None, simple_name=None, tier=None)
Parameters

  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • string_value (str) – The value of the parameter. It may not reference another parameter and {{}} cannot be used in the value.

  • type (Optional[ParameterType]) – The type of the string parameter. Default: ParameterType.STRING

  • allowed_pattern (Optional[str]) – A regular expression used to validate the parameter value. For example, for String types with values restricted to numbers, you can specify the following: ^\d+$ Default: no validation is performed

  • description (Optional[str]) – Information about the parameter that you want to add to the system. Default: none

  • parameter_name (Optional[str]) – The name of the parameter. Default: - a name will be generated by CloudFormation

  • simple_name (Optional[bool]) – Indicates of the parameter name is a simple name (i.e. does not include “/” separators). This is only required only if parameterName is a token, which means we are unable to detect if the name is simple or “path-like” for the purpose of rendering SSM parameter ARNs. If parameterName is not specified, simpleName must be true (or undefined) since the name generated by AWS CloudFormation is always a simple name. Default: - auto-detect based on parameterName

  • tier (Optional[ParameterTier]) – The tier of the string parameter. Default: - undefined

Return type

None

ConstructNode

parameter_arn

The ARN of the SSM Parameter resource.

The name of the SSM Parameter resource.

Return type

str

parameter_type

The type of the SSM Parameter resource.

Return type

Static Methods

classmethod from_secure_string_parameter_attributes(scope, id, *, version, encryption_key=None, parameter_name, simple_name=None)

Imports a secure string parameter from the SSM parameter store.

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • version (Union[int, float]) – The version number of the value you wish to retrieve. This is required for secure strings.

  • encryption_key (Optional[IKey]) – The encryption key that is used to encrypt this parameter. Default: - default master key

  • parameter_name (str) – The name of the parameter store value. This value can be a token or a concrete string. If it is a concrete string and includes “/” it must also be prefixed with a “/” (fully-qualified).

  • simple_name (Optional[bool]) – Indicates of the parameter name is a simple name (i.e. does not include “/” separators). This is only required only if parameterName is a token, which means we are unable to detect if the name is simple or “path-like” for the purpose of rendering SSM parameter ARNs. If parameterName is not specified, simpleName must be true (or undefined) since the name generated by AWS CloudFormation is always a simple name. Default: - auto-detect based on parameterName

Return type

IStringParameter

classmethod from_string_parameter_attributes(scope, id, *, type=None, version=None, parameter_name, simple_name=None)

Imports an external string parameter with name and optional version.

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • type (Optional[ParameterType]) – The type of the string parameter. Default: ParameterType.STRING

  • version (Union[int, float, None]) – The version number of the value you wish to retrieve. Default: The latest version will be retrieved.

  • parameter_name (str) – The name of the parameter store value. This value can be a token or a concrete string. If it is a concrete string and includes “/” it must also be prefixed with a “/” (fully-qualified).

  • simple_name (Optional[bool]) – Indicates of the parameter name is a simple name (i.e. does not include “/” separators). This is only required only if parameterName is a token, which means we are unable to detect if the name is simple or “path-like” for the purpose of rendering SSM parameter ARNs. If parameterName is not specified, simpleName must be true (or undefined) since the name generated by AWS CloudFormation is always a simple name. Default: - auto-detect based on parameterName

Return type

IStringParameter

classmethod from_string_parameter_name(scope, id, string_parameter_name)

Imports an external string parameter by name.

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) –

  • id (str) –

  • string_parameter_name (str) –

Return type

IStringParameter

classmethod is_construct(x)

Return whether the given object is a Construct.

Parameters

x (Any) –

Return type

bool

classmethod value_for_secure_string_parameter(scope, parameter_name, version)

Returns a token that will resolve (during deployment).

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) – Some scope within a stack.

  • parameter_name (str) – The name of the SSM parameter.

  • version (Union[int, float]) – The parameter version (required for secure strings).

Return type

str

classmethod value_for_string_parameter(scope, parameter_name, version=None)

Returns a token that will resolve (during deployment) to the string value of an SSM string parameter.

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) – Some scope within a stack.

  • parameter_name (str) – The name of the SSM parameter.

  • version (Union[int, float, None]) – The parameter version (recommended in order to ensure that the value won’t change during deployment).

Return type

str

classmethod value_for_typed_string_parameter(scope, parameter_name, type=None, version=None)

Returns a token that will resolve (during deployment) to the string value of an SSM string parameter.

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) – Some scope within a stack.

  • parameter_name (str) – The name of the SSM parameter.

  • type (Optional[ParameterType]) – The type of the SSM parameter.

  • version (Union[int, float, None]) – The parameter version (recommended in order to ensure that the value won’t change during deployment).

Return type

str

classmethod value_from_lookup(scope, parameter_name)

Reads the value of an SSM parameter during synthesis through an environmental context provider.

Requires that the stack this scope is defined in will have explicit account/region information. Otherwise, it will fail during synthesis.

Parameters

  • scope (Construct) –

  • parameter_name (str) –

Return type

str
