Is it possible to create a Parameter Store parameter in mutiple region ?

Question

I used the below command to create the parameter  but it only create in my aws config default region, I want to have the parameter be set in other region as well in the meantime such as on ap-north-east-1, eu-west-1 and so on. Is it possible to do that?
aws ssm put-parameter --name "/dev/service-a/secret-key" --type "SecureString" --value "my-super-secret-secret"

Answer

Hi,

AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store is hosted in multiple Availability Zones in a single AWS Region, and does not support cross region replication out of the box, so unfortunately you will have to manage it manually.

Answer

Hello.

Try adding the "--region" option as shown below.  
```
aws ssm put-parameter --name "/dev/service-a/secret-key" --type "SecureString" --value "my-super-secret-secret" --region "ap-northeast-1"
```

Answer

Hi,

if you want to replicate the same parameter (name, value) across multiple regions and manage it from a single central region, this article provides all code and CFN templates to achieve it: https://technology.customink.com/blog/2022/01/10/aws-systems-manager-ssm-cross-region-replication/
