Unable to load config data from 'aws-parameterstore:' when using Spring Boot with AWS Parameter store

Question

Spring Boot newbie here. I am trying to read credentials from AWS Parameter Store. To do that, I have added the following dependencies to pom.xml:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.awspring.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-aws</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.awspring.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-aws-parameter-store-config</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.2</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-bootstrap</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.4</version>
    </dependency>

I am using Spring Boot version version 2.7.4. When I run the application, it fails to boot and prints the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to load config data from 'aws-parameterstore:'

How do I read credentials from AWS parameter store?

Update

There is a parameter stored at the path /config/myap_dev/dummy. I have added the following config to my bootstrap.properties:

spring.application.name=myapp
aws.paramstore.defaultContext=application
aws.paramstore.profileSeparator=_
aws.paramstore.prefix=/config
aws.paramstore.enabled=true

and in my application-dev.yaml I do the following to retrieve the parameter:

spring.config.import: "aws-parameterstore:"
param: "${dummy}"

I am running the application using mvn spring-boot:run.

This doesn't show how your are fetching the aws-parameterstore? How do you run it? etc... — grekier

@grekier I updated my question to include more details. Please let me know if I should add something more. — Runtime Terror

How do you have access to AWS defined? Do you have env variable for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_REGION, and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or something else? I also think you need to set AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=true and cloud.aws.stack.auto=false when not running in AWS — grekier

@grekier It's running locally with AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_REGION, and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY defined as environment variables. I added cloud.aws.stack.auto: false but the error still persists. — Runtime Terror

If you're running in AWS then ensure that the service you're using (e.g. an ECS task) has permission to access the parameter store. See section 3.3 here https://docs.awspring.io/spring-cloud-aws/docs/current/reference/html/index.html

You have an incorrect dependency in your pom:

spring-cloud-aws-parameter-store-config

...should be...

spring-cloud-starter-aws-parameter-store-config

Hope it helps, took quite a lot to figure out and probably package names could be confusing.
