Constants Parameter Resolver #110

Open patrobinson opened 8 years ago

patrobinson commented 8 years ago

We find ourselves putting account IDs in parameter files a few times and this opens a potential enhancement.

We could have a Constants parameter resolver that works like so:

permitted_account:
  constant: account_id/my_awesome_other_account

Where this looks up another YAML file in constants/account_id.yml:

my_awesome_other_account: 0123456789012

The Latest AMI resolver also accepts an account ID as input, so there would also be benefit in supporting nested parameter resolvers, but this would be rather difficult to implement.

I'd be interested to see how secrets could work here -- I can see a need to share a secret with multiple stacks, and since we already have secret support (via dotgpg), making it usable here would be nice.
