Get values from parameter store?

[mhp-borisbojic]

Hi there,

while aws-secretsmanager-get-secrets is great and easy to use, i'm still missing an official "action" to get values from the AWS parameter store - or a flag / method that aws-secretsmanager-get-secrets is also able to access them.

Or is there another simple solution? :-)

I am also looking for aws github actions to get values from parameter store.

I was about to request the same thing. I've been working on a large-scale multi-tenanted GHA stack using philips-labs/terraform-aws-github-runner, and certain parameters that we wish to "dynamically discover" (e.g. subnet into which Packer builds will launch w/ EBS-builder), and secrets plus this custom action make that possible. However, it's sometimes a pain when some CLI tool needs to work with the secret (i.e. easy to pass masked secrets as CLI args to a CLI tool, but if the tool requires the secret to dynamically injected into a config file, extra steps/hacks are needed). Being able to (via a simple/convenient API like this action) without un-needed masking would be very helpful.

Cheers!
