AWS::SSM::Parameter.Type=SecureString #34

Open trav-c opened 5 years ago

trav-c commented 5 years ago

The "SecureString" Systems Manager Parameter type is not supported by CloudFormation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-ssm-parameter.html#cfn-ssm-parameter-type

The "SecureString" type is supported in the PutParameter API (except apparently in China regions): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/APIReference/API_PutParameter.html#systemsmanager-PutParameter-request-Type

This is acknowledged in the linked documentation for both CloudFormation and the PutParmeter API:

Note SecureString is not currently supported for AWS CloudFormation templates or in the China Regions.
