SSM State Manager

  • Automate the process of keeping your managed instances (EC2/On-premises) in a state that you define.
  • Use cases: bootstrap instances with software, patch OS/software updates on a schedule, etc.
  • State Manager Association:
    • Defines the state that you want to maintain to your managed instances
    • Example: port 22 must be closed, antivirus must be installed
    • Specify a schedule when this configuration is applied
  • Uses SSM Documents to create an Association (e.g., SSM Document to configure CW Agent)
