How to read that Variable directly in DockerFile at runtime in ECS?

[@gowthamakanthan]

Is that possible to append the values into the ssm parameter store?

[@jockumedia4800]

SSM parameter /cdk-bootstrap/hnb659fds/version not found. Has the environment been bootstrapped? how to solve this. ??

[@DakshGargas]

Hey, do you have any idea how can I do so in NodeJS?

[@goodstuff2read]

What would this look like in the aws cli in node.js?

[@alexisnavarretevillalobos7936]

Hello, I did not see the StringList data type, how is that information displayed?

[@kewei4767]

Thanks for the tutorial. As a securestring type, shouldn't they make it harder to obtain the decrypted value? typing a --with-decryption and immediately get it seems a little bit too convenient for attacks. I am pretty sure I miss something here.

[@guillaume5623]

if you are a aws user with the IAM ROLE to decrypt secureString, yes it decrypt on the fly.

[@Priyanka2421]

Hi... I am having the same scenario.. But our password contains special characters. Thus at the time of cloud formation SSM parameter value is not replaced properly.. Password begins with @ Can you help??

[@m66rus]

So is parameter store global in it’s scope or account specific?

[@abheeshekjain6626]

Is there any way to "edit" the parameter name ?

[@sanketh768]

is the SSM Parameter store chargable?

[@tsunghan_yu]

where's the next lecture?

[@AmeerulIslam]

but how to use it in code?

[@NithishKumar-se9ev]

I think this can be done using boto3 python sdk
