[Feat]: Introduce an ADF pipeline region SSM Parameter store value in raw form

[pergardebrink]

Describe the feature

The current value for /deployment/<adf_project>/regions SSM parameter is a "python string representation" of an array of strings, that looks something like: ['us-east-1','us-east-2','eu-west-1']

There should be an alternate value that is in "raw" comma-separated form, like: us-east-1,us-east-2,eu-west-1 to avoid having to parse the array characters or string quotes

Use Case

I want to use the value as part of an adaption for CDK using ADF pipelines I'm building, where I need to find out all the regions a pipeline is targeting (in order to push assets (file or image assets) into all regions.

I could of course strip the current value already today (which I'm currently doing), but it would be nice if I didn't have to do that and use the value directly.

Proposed Solution

I am open for providing a pull request to implement the feature if it's accepted.

I was thinking about something like this appended in this function:

aws-deployment-framework/src/lambda_codebase/initial_commit/bootstrap_repository/adf-bootstrap/deployment/lambda_codebase/pipeline_management/generate_pipeline_inputs.py

Line 35 in cb029ef

parameter_store.put_parameter(

parameter_store.put_parameter(
        f"/deployment/{deployment_map_source}/{pipeline.name}/region_names",
        ",".join(pipeline.get_all_regions()),
    )

Acknowledgements

• I may be able to implement this feature request
