AWS Systems Manager provides a unified user interface for identifying and resolving operational issues in AWS applications and resources including AWS EC2<\/a>, AWS RDS<\/a>, AWS ECS, and AWS EKS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, it provides a single and uniform way to acquire operational insights and perform routine management tasks for numerous AWS services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be used to run routine operations, track the development, test, and production environments, and take proactive action in the case of an event or other operational incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Run Command<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

By integrating with AWS Identity and Access Management<\/a>, SSM provides significantly more control over managing remote command executions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For auditing purposes, it keeps track of remote commands. We can also generate SSM documentation for commands and use them frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documentation<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

SSM comes with several pre-made documents that may be used with Run Commands, Automation, and States Manager. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also create our unique documents. SSM Document permissions are connected with AWS IAM, allowing us to use AWS IAM policies to manage who has execution privileges on which documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

SSM agent runs as root on the instance so that we can better analyze its security posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliance<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This is an SSM reporting method that updates us if the instances are patch baseline or state manager association compliant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, this capability can drill down into issues and resolve them using SSM Run commands or Automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concurrency<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To run commands or automation documents in parallel, SSM lets you specify a percentage or count of target instances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also halt executions if the number of target instances throwing errors reaches a certain threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Patch<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

One of the most significant features for keeping our environment up to date with freshly published patches is the patch management tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Manager<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Things change over time, thus maintaining compliance with the best security and operating principles in the environment is a challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Manager makes it simple to keep our application environment in the desired state by allowing us to run a collection of commands using SSM documents regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use operational data to more easily manage apps and immediately discover issues across AWS resource groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolve security issues<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Adapt your security and compliance profile as needed, and analyze security incidents after they happen to avoid reoccurrence in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organize operational data<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Collect information from AWS services like Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Config<\/a>, as well as third-party tools, in a single console to generate actionable insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adopt best practices<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Automate proactive and reactive operations, including patching and resource adjustments, to swiftly assess and resolve operational concerns before they impact users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
