Using AWS SSM Parameter Store With Git SSH Keys

This article details a method for securely storing and using Git SSH private keys in AWS SSM Parameter Store. It provides a bash function that retrieves the key, adds it to a temporary ssh-agent in memory, and executes Git commands (like clone) without writing the key to disk. The guide covers the solution's workflow, setup for SSM Parameter Store and GitHub, and is aimed at automating deployments in AWS environments like Lambda and Fargate.
