Using Parameter Store Values for Script Executions
You can grant CloudRanger permissions to use the Parameter Store values on script execution.
Note: The AWS-managed instance policy 'AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore' contains the required permissions which allow the instance to use the Parameter Store values for script execution.
Before you begin:
- Ensure that an active AWS SSM agent is installed on the resource that you wish to run the backup pre- or post-script on.
- Ensure that the resource on which the script is executed has the appropriate permissions defined (ssm:getParameter).
To use the Parameter Store values, you can:
- Define the default parameter values within the script to be executed.
- Reference the SSM Parameter Store values within the SSM documents.
