laravel-env-in-aws-ssm

Manage your environment variables in in AWS' SSM Parameter store

Download or upload your .env files into the free AWS's SSM store. This allows you to store up to 10,000 keys over your aws account in each region. More keys are available subject to your quota.

This provides a good companion to referencing env values in cloudformation, serverless framework or to download within runners in other forms of Continuous Deployment processes.

composer require nandi95/laravel-env-in-aws-ssm

This package provides two commands:

• --secretKey=(optional) - The secret key for the user with the required permissions. If not given, or cannot be found, it will prompt the user for it.

• --accessKey=(optional) - The access key id for the user with the required permissions. If not given, or cannot be found, it will prompt the user for it.

All commands will use the env file respective to the stage argument. For example: with stage argument production it will work with the .env.production file. If the file exists when pulling, it will back up the existing file.
