Parameter
A parameter is any piece of data saved in the Parameter Store. Non-secure parameter types are String
and StringList
. Security sensitive data can be safely stored as SecureString
. In case of String
parameters,Parameter Store will perform a syntax check on the data of type aws:ec2:image
, by validating it to be an Amazon EC2 AMI.
A parameter is referenced using the following format:
{{ssm:parameter-name}}
