Find the Parameter Store by logging in to the AWS console and navigating to
Services - Systems Manager - Parameter Store (Left panel)
Put Parameter
There are a number of types of value that can be stored in the parameter store. String, StringList and SecureString. To put a parameter useaws ssm put-parameter --region <region> --name <parameterName> --type SecureString --value "my secure value"
To store the contents of a file you can use
aws ssm put-parameter --region <region> --name <parameterName> --type SecureString --value file://my_file_to_store.anything
Get Parameter
Use the simple command line to get a parameter value.aws ssm get-parameter --region <region> --name <parameterName>
If you SecureString was used as a type then the --with-decryption value can be used to see the actual value.
aws ssm get-parameter --region <region> --name <parameterName> --with-decryption
This output in json isn't always useful. A --query parameter can be added to specify the actual output needed
aws ssm get-parameter --region <region> --name <parameterName> --with-decryption --query Parameter.Value
Add | cut -d "\"" -f 2 to remove the quotes and using 'echo -e' will restore any line breaks which are encoded as \n
Similarly if a profile is needed then --profile <profileName> can be used
