Easy SSM

• node.js library and cli command for execute SSM RunCommand.
• Run command and wait and get result easily than using aws-sdk directly.
• Support run on AWS Lambda.

Using as library

$ npm install --save easy-ssm

var EasySSM = require('easy-ssm');
var easySsm = new EasySSM();

easySsm.run(instanceid, command, function(err, output) {
  console.log(output.stdout);
  console.log(output.stderr);
});

// Also support promise.
easySsm.runPromise(instanceId, command).then(...);

You can specify some params.

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var EasySSM = require('easy-ssm');
var params = {
  // S3 Bucket Name
  // Required to get not summarized output longer than 2500.
  OutputS3BucketName: 'my-s3-bucket',
  
  // default: ''
  OutputS3KeyPrefix: 'ssm-outputs',
  
  // Command Execution timeout. default: 1000sec
  // 
  // Warning: This parameter is pass to SSM API
  //          but will not work as you might think.
  timeoutSec: 1000,  
  
  // aws-sdk objects
  ssm: new AWS.SSM(customParams),
  s3: new AWS.S3(customParams),
  
  // Allow SSM;ListCommandInvocationError n times. default: 3
  maxRetries: 3,
  
  // A logger object to write debug information to.
  // Set to process.stdout to get logging information about service requests.
  // Object should implement function write(string) or log(string);  
  // default null
  logger: process.stdout,
};
var easySsm = new EasySSM(params);
easySsm.run(instanceid, command, function(err, output) {
  console.log(output.stdout);
  console.log(output.stderr);
  console.log(output.exitStatus);
  console.log(output.ssmRunShellScriptStatus);
});
