Parameter Store Insights

What is Parameter Store?

Parameter Store, a capability of AWS Systems Manager, provides secure, hierarchical storage for configuration data management and secrets management. You can store data such as passwords, database strings, Amazon Machine Image (AMI) IDs, and license codes as parameter values. These values can be referenced in your scripts, commands, SSM documents, instance configuration, and AWS CloudFormation templates. Parameter Store supports encryption, versioning, and access control to enhance security and management. It is commonly used to decouple configuration details from code, enabling easier updates and improved security.
