Parameter Store Tool

This is a Spring Shell tool that allows managing AWS Parameter Store with simple Posix-like commands.

It is currently rudimentary; this was written specifically to facilitate a mass-migration of parameters from one path layout to another using a "copy, deploy updated application, delete" flow in batches. For this, we scripted the batches for review and pasted the scripts into the tool.

Warning

Use at your own risk! While I have used this intensively, several times for production migrations, it's not currently under daily use nor covered by exhaustive tests. A great contribution would be adding backup and restore. 😁

Commands

• cat <name>
• cp <source> <destination>
• ls <glob>
• mv <source> <destination>
• rm <name>

Setup

Setup is currently external to the tool. Use AWS environment variables such as AWS_PROFILE and AWS_REGION.

Run

It's thus far mostly been used straight from Intellij while iterating on development. See notes below for caveats.

It can easily be run via Maven:

AWS_PROFILE=myprofile ./mvnw spring-boot:run

Notes

This project suffers from well-known problems with Intellij's terminal and jline. Most notably, normal input controls don't work, and tab completion is broken: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-183619

rm supports -f / --force, but Spring Shell doesn't seem to be able to handle a boolean flag without args combined with standalone args, so one has to specify rm -f true <param>.

TODO

• allow cp/mv to overwrite with confirmation
• cd
• create
• ed
• tab completion for parameters
• caching (tab completion performance?)
• release artifact
• backup / restore
