AWS SSM 运行命令：使用 Cloudformation 模板中的当前帐号

Question

I have a CloudFormation template that create a set of SSM commands to manage my Linux EC2 instances. This commands must have access to my AWS account number to do some tasks.

On my CloudFormation template, I did :

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'
Description: Sample SSM commands

MyCommand1:
  Type: AWS::SSM::Document
  Properties: 
    DocumentType: Command
      Content: 
        schemaVersion: "2.2"
        parameters: {}
        mainSteps: 
          - action: aws:runShellScript 
            name : command1
            inputs: 
              runCommand:
                - echo "this command run on the selected EC2 instance" && echo "You are running this on account {{global:ACCOUNT_ID}}"

Outputs:
    Command1ID:
        Description: MyCommand1
        Value: !Ref  MyCommand1

This template install the function, and I can run it from the SSM web console.

But the {{global:ACCOUNT_ID}} is not valued to my account number. It is valued to the string "{{global:ACCOUNT_ID}}". So I presume this is not the good syntax to use global var from an SSM command.

So, after reading the doc here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/walkthrough-cli.html I tried to test this via the CLI only (to quickly test other syntax) :

$> sh_command_id=$(aws ssm send-command --instance-ids "i-0cb0c0ea8ef7339f1" --document-name "AWS-RunShellScript" --parameters commands='echo You are running this on account {{global:ACCOUNT_ID}}' --output text --query "Command.CommandId")

but the command failed with a parsing error Error parsing parameter '--parameters': Expected: ',', received: '}' for input

What is the correct syntax to use the {{global:*}} things in SSM "runCommand" action ?

Answer 1

您可以通过使用Fn::Sub函数来实现这一点：

- !Sub 'echo "this command run on the selected EC2 instance" && echo "You are running this on account ${AWS::AccountId}"'

Answer 2

The built in variable for ACCOUNT_ID is not going to be available to you. Using SSM you are running a command on an instance and this command doesn't understand the ACCOUNT_ID. Based on the cloud formation template I am assuming you are running this on a *ix based system.

One way to do is this use this in your actual command:

ACCOUNT_ID=`curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document | grep accountId| awk '{print $3}'|sed 's/"//g'|sed 's/,//g'` && echo "this command run on the selected EC2 instance" && echo "You are running this on account ${ACCOUNT_ID}"

This uses the ec2 instance metadata to figure out the Account ID.
