Helm SSM Plugin

Codacy Badge CircleCI

This is a helm3 plugin to help developers inject values coming from AWS SSM parameters, on the values.yaml file. It also leverages the wonderful sprig package, thus making all its functions available when parsing.

Since helm2 is deprecated the current version of the plugin only supports helm3. The last version to support helm2 is v2.2.1. There will be no further patches or updates to this legacy version.

Usage

Loads a template file, and writes the output.

Simply add placeholders like {{ssm "path" "option1=value1" }} in your file, where you want it to be replaced by the plugin.

Currently the plugin supports the following options:

  • region=eu-west-1 - to resolve that parameter in a specific region
  • default=some-value - to give a default string value when the ssm parameter is optional. The plugin will throw an error when values are not defined and do not have a default.
  • prefix=/something - you can use this to specify a given prefix for a parameter without affecting the path. It will be concatenated with the path before resolving.

Values file

service:
ingress:
  enabled: false
  hosts:
    - service.{{ssm "/exists/subdomain" }}
    - service1.{{ssm "/empty/subdomain" "default=codacy.org" }}
    - service2.{{ssm "/exists/subdomain" "default=codacy.org" "region=eu-west-1" }}
    - service3.{{ssm "/subdomain" "default=codacy.org" "region=eu-west-1" "prefix=/empty" }}
    - service4.{{ssm "/securestring" }}

when you do not want a key to be defined, you can use a condition and an empty default value:

service:
ingress:
  enabled: false
  hosts:
    {{- with $subdomain := (ssm "/exists/subdomain" "default=") }}{{ if $subdomain }}
    - service.{{$subdomain}}
    {{- end }}{{- end }}
