Using Parameter Store Values for Script Executions
Updated over a week ago

You can grant CloudRanger permissions to use the Parameter Store values on 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).


๐Ÿ“ Note
โ€‹The AWS-managed instance policy AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore contains the required permissions, which allow the instance to use the Parameter Store values for script execution.


To use the Parameter Store values, perform one of the following:

  • Define the default parameter values within the script to be executed.

  • Reference the SSM Parameter Store values within the SSM documents.
