Ref

When you pass the logical ID of an AWS::SSM::PatchBaseline resource to the intrinsic Ref function, the function returns the physical ID of the resource, such as pb-abcde1234567890yz.

Note

The ID of the default patch baseline provided by AWS is an ARN—for example arn:aws:ssm:us-west-2:123456789012:patchbaseline/abcde1234567890yz.

For more information about using the Ref function, see Ref.
