How to migrate parameter store data to other Region / AWS Account


Consider that I have got a AWS account that already has some parameter store data.

Is there a way to migrate these data from this parameter store to another:

  • parameter store?
  • region?
  • AWS account?

I would prefer official tools to do this, but tools similar to dynamoDB dump are also welcome.


Solution

  • There is no "official tool" to do this. It could be done by iterating through the existing parameters and creating them in the target.

    I found this tool that somebody has written: aws-ssm-copy · PyPI: Copy parameters from a AWS parameter store to another

    It looks like it can copy between Regions and between AWS Accounts (by providing multiple Profiles).
