Accessing AWS System Parameter Store using AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)

There is no way to hide or prevent people from seeing the code, but making it obfuscate would be hard to reuse it again. It is also difficult to follow the obfuscation and maintain the code in the long run.

To make it simple and secure, the AWS system parameter store helps store values, secure information such as passwords, database strings, Amazon Machine Image (AMI) code IDs while running.

It is a serverless, scalable, easy to manage hosted secrets management service that separates sensitive data from codes such as plain text or encrypted data.

By using the AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, the use of passwords or credentials to secure data during execution can be avoided, and this helps any customer to have a unified way to manage data.

Users can be notified if an attempt is made to change the data or passwords using trigger actions based on the store event parameter.

This should be the easiest way to integrate the python AWS SDK with the SSM parameter store.
