+# Component: `ssm`
+
+This component is responsible for provisioning Parameter Store resources against AWS SSM. It supports normal parameter
+store resources that can be configured directly in YAML OR pulling secret values from a local Sops file.
+
+## Usage
+
+**Stack Level**: Regional
+
+Here are some example snippets for how to use this component:
+
+`stacks/dev/us-east-1.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+components:
+ terraform:
+ ssm-parameters:
+ vars:
+ sops_source_file: ../../config/secrets/dev.yaml
+ sops_source_key: ssm_params
+ params:
+ /DEV/TESTING:
+ value: This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.
+ description: This is a test.
+ overwrite: true
+ type: String
+```
+

+
+## Inputs
+
+| Name | Description | Type | Default | Required |
+|------|-------------|------|---------|:--------:|
+| [additional\_tag\_map](#input\_additional\_tag\_map) | Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in `tags_as_list_of_maps`. Not added to `tags` or `id`.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration. | `map(string)` | `{}` | no |
+| [attributes](#input\_attributes) | ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. `workers` or `cluster`) to add to `id`,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the `delimiter`
and treated as a single ID element. | `list(string)` | `[]` | no |
+| [context](#input\_context) | Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as `null` to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional\_tag\_map, which are merged. | `any` |
{
"additional_tag_map": {},

"enabled": true,

"name": null,
"namespace": null,
"regex_replace_chars": null,

}
| no |
+| [delimiter](#input\_delimiter) | Delimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to `-` (hyphen). Set to `""` to use no delimiter at all. | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [descriptor\_formats](#input\_descriptor\_formats) | Describe additional descriptors to be output in the `descriptors` output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
`{
format = string
labels = list(string)
}`
(Type is `any` so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
`format` is a Terraform format string to be passed to the `format()` function.
`labels` is a list of labels, in order, to pass to `format()` function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to `format()` so they will be
identical to how they appear in `id`.
Default is `{}` (`descriptors` output will be empty). | `any` | `{}` | no |
+| [enabled](#input\_enabled) | Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources | `bool` | `null` | no |
+| [environment](#input\_environment) | ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT' | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [id\_length\_limit](#input\_id\_length\_limit) | Limit `id` to this many characters (minimum 6).
Set to `0` for unlimited length.
Set to `null` for keep the existing setting, which defaults to `0`.
Does not affect `id_full`. | `number` | `null` | no |
+| [kms\_arn](#input\_kms\_arn) | The ARN of a KMS key used to encrypt and decrypt SecretString values | `string` | `""` | no |
+| [label\_key\_case](#input\_label\_key\_case) | Controls the letter case of the `tags` keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the `tags` input.
Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper`.
Default value: `title`. | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [label\_order](#input\_label\_order) | The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the `id`.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present. | `list(string)` | `null` | no |
+| [label\_value\_case](#input\_label\_value\_case) | Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in `id`,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the `tags` input.
Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper` and `none` (no transformation).
Set this to `title` and set `delimiter` to `""` to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: `lower`. | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [labels\_as\_tags](#input\_labels\_as\_tags) | Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the `tags` output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the `tags` output.
Set to `[]` to suppress all generated tags.
**Notes:**
The value of the `name` tag, if included, will be the `id`, not the `name`.
Unlike other `null-label` inputs, the initial setting of `labels_as_tags` cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored. | `set(string)` | [
"default"
]
| no |
+| [name](#input\_name) | ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
This is the only ID element not also included as a `tag`.
The "name" tag is set to the full `id` string. There is no tag with the value of the `name` input. | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [namespace](#input\_namespace) | ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [params](#input\_params) | A map of parameter values to write to SSM Parameter Store | map(object({
value = string
description = string
overwrite = optional(bool, false)
tier = optional(string, "Standard")
type = string
}))
| n/a | yes |
+| [regex\_replace\_chars](#input\_regex\_replace\_chars) | Terraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, `"/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/"` is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits. | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [region](#input\_region) | AWS Region | `string` | n/a | yes |
+| [sops\_source\_file](#input\_sops\_source\_file) | The relative path to the SOPS file which is consumed as the source for creating parameter resources. | `string` | `""` | no |
+| [sops\_source\_key](#input\_sops\_source\_key) | The SOPS key to pull from the source file. | `string` | `""` | no |
+| [stage](#input\_stage) | ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release' | `string` | `null` | no |
+| [tags](#input\_tags) | Additional tags (e.g. `{'BusinessUnit': 'XYZ'}`).
Neither the tag keys nor the tag values will be modified by this module. | `map(string)` | `{}` | no |
+| [tenant](#input\_tenant) | ID element \_(Rarely used, not included by default)\_. A customer identifier, indicating who this instance of a resource is for | `string` | `null` | no |
+
+## Outputs
+
+| Name | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| [created\_params](#output\_created\_params) | The keys of created SSM parameter store resources. |
