Using SSM parameter as ConfigurationSection

Is it possible to use SSM parameter as ConfigurationSection?

For example parameter with name /example/settings/Logging with json value

{
"Level": "Information",
"SomethingElse": "Test"
}

And then use it like this?

public class Logging
{
    public string Level { get; set; }
    public string SomethingElse{ get; set; }
}

...

var configurationSection = configuration.GetSection(nameof(Logging));
services.Configure<Logging>(configurationSection);

@DamirAinullin I also found that this worked for my situation:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
     var logging = new Logging();
     Configuration.GetSection("Logging").Bind(logging);
     services.AddSingleton(Options.Create(logging));
}

@KenHundley What’s not clear in your suggestion of flattening the JSON hierarchy to kvp is how arrays would be represented. For example in this fragment how would the “WriteTo” elements be set?

{
  "Serilog": {
    "Using":  [ "Serilog.Sinks.Console", "Serilog.Sinks.Seq" ],
    "MinimumLevel": "Information",
    "WriteTo": [
      { "Name": "Console" },
      { "Name": "Seq", "Args": { "serverUrl": "http://localhost:5341" } }
    ]

Update: As it turns out, you simply include the array index value as part of the path, so the above would be: aws ssm put-parameter --name ‘/WriteTo/0/Name’ --value Console aws ssm put-parameter --name ‘/WriteTo/1/Name’ --value Seq etc…
