find_asg_ip

get_ssm_parameters

Suported OS: Linux, Windows

Purpose

Retrieve encrypted secrets in AWS SSM Parameter store and add into chef override.json

Usage

Requires a tag SSMParameters set to true on the EC2 instance for the bootstrap to run the script.
Create your SSM parameters using your favourite method The SSM Parameter naming convention is as follows default..base2..app..SECRET

• Delimiter
  • .. Separates each section of the Name
• Environment or Global Identifier (First section of name)
  • default is a global identifier allowing this secret to be used across all environments for a given AWS account
  • environment is a environment specific Parameter that will only be retrieved for that environment. This will override any globally set parameters
• Chef attribute
  • The identifier gets stripped off the name which then turns the rest of the name into a chef attribute i.e. node['base2']['app']['SECRET']
  • This attribute is store in the override.json file and can be called in a recipe as you normally would.

Examples:

• The parameter name default..base2..app..SECRET becomes the chef attribute node['base2']['app']['SECRET'] in the chef recipe and is available in all environments
• The parameter name dev..base2..app..APIKEY becomes the chef attribute node['base2']['app']['APIKEY'] in the chef recipe and is available in just the dev environment
• The parameter name prod..base2..app..SECRET becomes the chef attribute node['base2']['app']['SECRET'] in the chef recipe and is available in just the prod environment and overrides the default..base2..app..SECRET parameter
