I'm currently dealing with an annoying issue:
We are storing some environment (dev/test/prod/etc) specific parameter values in SSM Parameter Store, as such they have different names. They change fairly often.
The environment is being passed to update-stack as a CF template parameter, and I'd like to construct the actual SSM parameter name from that (this is the blog post I'm referencing: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/integrating-aws-cloudformation-with-aws-systems-manager-parameter-store/)
I really want to use a single generic parameter in my Cloudformation template, however, that does not seem to be possible because the values of the parameters need to be hardcoded. And you can't seem to !Ref a !Join statement.
Anyone out there done something similar and found a good workaround?
