Thanks for this blog post. I have been looking for something like this as I like to keep writing scripts like normal, but then have them transformed for uses with SSM. I took some of your ideas to convert scripts into a properly-escaped yaml list so that it can be used in AWS SSM documents, without having to write the script in yaml, since it likes to complaint with certain characters.

@aldorperez1 that's awesome! I did something similar. A terraform template could work. Also I wrote a post recently on creating dynamic config with Powershell you might like. Using pscustomobject you could construct the ssm document and then flip to json and finally to yaml with yq tool. I found this let me iterate much more quickly on document updates and new work. Be sure to share any post or update here of you try it so I know how it goes 👍
