Building

1. Setup environment variables

   mkdir lib/{bin,pkg,src}
   export GOPATH=$(pwd)/lib
   

2. Install deps

   go install github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go@latest

3. Build

   go build -o app .
   chmod +x ./app

4. Run

   ./app -role-arn <aws-role-arn> -region <aws-region> -param-path <aws-ssm-param-path>

   The application will expect to find AWS credentials set from ENV, so ensure that the IAM user credentials have been set up correctly, and if necessary, export the correct AWS_PROFILE variable as well.

Testing

To test the application, set up the IAM role as before, then run the application directly without building:

go run app.go -role-arn <aws-role-arn> -region <aws-region> -param-path <aws-ssm-param-path> -key-path <some-local-path-for-testing>
