Customizing SSM Parameters

You can customize the SSM parameter names that SST creates behind the scenes to power Resource Binding.

Setting the SSM name prefix​

To provide a prefix, open up the sst.json and add a ssmPrefix field.

{
  "name": "my-sst-app",
  "region": "us-east-1",
- "main": "lib/index.ts"
+ "main": "lib/index.ts",
+ "ssmPrefix": "/myOrg/myTeam"
}

For example, the default SSM parameter name that's created for a Bucket is:

/sst/my-sst-app/dev/Bucket/myBucket/bucketName

With the ssmPrefix specified, the SSM parameter name will be:

/myOrg/myTeam/sst/my-sst-app/dev/Bucket/myBucket/bucketName
