Hi,

I wasn't able to find documentation or an example for this, but I'm using sceptre and Service Catalog, with my normal yaml template I can do:

Parameters:
  SecurityGroup:
    Type: AWS::SSM::Parameter::Value<AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup::Id>
    Description: SSM parameter referencing the private security group ID
    Default: /Params/VPC/PrivateSG

Then !Ref SecurityGroup for the value will contain the value from the parameter store. Any tips on doing this in troposphere?

Thanks in advance!

Try something like this:

from troposphere import Template, Parameter

t = Template()

t.add_parameter(Parameter(

"SecurityGroup",

Type="AWS::SSM::Parameter::Value<AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup::Id>",

Description="SSM parameter referencing the private security group ID",

Default="/Params/VPC/PrivateSG",

))

print t.to_yaml()
