MATLAB Interface for AWS Systems Manager

MATLAB® interface for the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager™. Systems Manager (formerly Simple Systems Management (SSM)) provides a collection of capabilities for configuring and managing Amazon EC2 instances, on-premises servers and virtual machines (VMs), and certain other AWS resources.

The complete Systems Manager is API very large. This package implements limited Parameter Store support. If additional features and methods would be helpful to you please submit an enhancement request as detailed below.

Requirements

MathWorks products

• Requires MATLAB release R2017a or later.
• AWS Common utilities found at https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-aws-common

3rd party products

• Amazon Web Services account

To build a required JAR file:

• Maven
• JDK 7
• AWS SDK for Java (version 1.11.567 or later)

Getting Started

Please refer to the Documentation to get started. The Installation Instructions and Getting Started documents provide detailed instructions on setting up and using the interface. The easiest way to fetch this repository and all required dependencies is to clone the top-level repository using:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/mathworks-aws-support.git

Build the AWS SDK for Java components

The MATLAB code uses the AWS SDK for Java and can be built using:

cd Software/Java
mvn clean package

Once built, use the /Software/MATLAB/startup.m function to initialize the interface which will use the AWS Credentials Provider Chain to authenticate. Please see the relevant documentation on how to specify the credentials.

Write and read a parameter

% Create client
ssm = aws.simplesystemsmanagement.AWSSimpleSystemsManagementClient();
% Use local static credentials rather than the provider chain in this case
ssm.useCredentialsProviderChain = false;
% Initialize the client
ssm.initialize();
% Now use the client to carry out actions

% Set some values
myParameterName = 'mytestparamname12345678';
myParameterValue = 'mytestparamvalue12345678';

% Build a put parameter request
putParameterRequest = aws.simplesystemsmanagement.model.PutParameterRequest();
putParameterRequest.setName(myParameterName);
putParameterRequest.setValue(myParameterValue);
putParameterRequest.setType('String');

% Use the request to put the parameter
putParameterResult = ssm.putParameter(putParameterRequest);

% Build a get parameter request
getParameterRequest = aws.simplesystemsmanagement.model.GetParameterRequest();
getParameterRequest.setName(myParameterName);
getParameterResult = ssm.getParameter(getParameterRequest);

% Use the request to get the parameter set above
parameter = getParameterResult.getParameter();

% The returned value should equal the previously set value
returnedValue = parameter.getValue();

% Delete the parameter when no longer needed
deleteParameterRequest = aws.simplesystemsmanagement.model.DeleteParameterRequest();
deleteParameterRequest.setName(myParameterName);
deleteParameterResult = ssm.deleteParameter(deleteParameterRequest);

% Shutdown the client when no longer needed
ssm.shutdown();
