ssm-dox

CLI tool for building and publishing SSM Documents.

What Is Dox?

Dox is a directory containing the source code of an SSM document. Named for it's corresponding SSM Document, the directory contains the following:

• template.yaml or template.yml file [REQUIRED]
• README.md file describing the SSM Document
• external files to be included in the SSM Document (e.g. shell or PowerShell scripts)

Why Use Dox?

Using Dox to write an SSM Document allows for scripts and other items to be linted and tested outside of the SSM Document. This enables CI/CD pipelines to easily validate the code before it gets deployed to AWS.
