FEATURES
USEFUL INFO
AWS Systems Manager (AWS SSM) is a management and operations service from Amazon Web Services that helps you securely manage, automate, and maintain fleets of AWS resources and servers (including Amazon EC2 instances and hybrid/on-premises machines). It provides a unified set of tools for common operational tasks such as remote command execution, patching, configuration management, and inventory collection—typically without requiring inbound SSH/RDP access. Key capabilities include Run Command for executing scripts across multiple nodes, Patch Manager for OS patch automation, State Manager for enforcing desired configurations, Parameter Store for securely storing configuration values and secrets (with encryption via AWS KMS), Session Manager for audited shell access, and Automation documents for repeatable runbooks and change workflows.
Networking, in the context of computer science and information technology, refers to the practice of connecting computers, servers, mainframes, network devices, peripherals, or other devices to exchange data and share resources. It encompasses both the physical (hardware) and logical (software) aspects of connections between devices. The primary goal of networking is to enable the sharing of data and resources, thereby improving efficiency and accessibility within and across computing environments. Networks can vary in size, ranging from simple local area networks (LANs) connecting a few devices in a single office, to complex wide area networks (WANs) spanning multiple geographic locations around the globe. Networking technologies and protocols facilitate communication and data transfer across these connections, adhering to standardized rules to ensure reliable and secure information exchange.
AWS SSM (AWS Systems Manager) centralizes operational control for AWS and hybrid compute, providing secure remote management, automation, and configuration at scale without requiring direct SSH/RDP access.
- Agent-based fleet management for EC2 and on-premises servers, enabling consistent operations across mixed environments.
- Secure interactive access via Session Manager, reducing reliance on inbound ports, bastion hosts, and long-lived SSH keys.
- Automated runbooks with Automation documents to standardize common tasks like patching, restarts, and remediation steps.
- Patch Manager schedules OS patching and maintenance windows, supporting compliance-driven update cadences.
- Run Command executes scripts and commands across many instances with controlled concurrency and detailed output capture.
- Parameter Store provides encrypted configuration and secrets storage with IAM-based access controls and versioning.
- Inventory collects software and system metadata to support audits, troubleshooting, and configuration drift detection.
- State Manager enforces desired configuration over time, helping keep baseline settings consistent across fleets.
- OpsCenter aggregates operational issues and contextual data to streamline incident triage and resolution workflows.
- Deep integration with IAM, CloudTrail, and CloudWatch enables auditable access, least-privilege controls, and operational visibility.
AWS SSM is a strong fit for organizations standardizing operational tooling on AWS, especially when reducing direct network exposure is a priority. Key considerations include ensuring SSM Agent coverage, IAM policy design, and understanding service quotas and feature coverage across operating systems and regions.
Common alternatives include Azure Automation, Google Cloud OS Config, HashiCorp Terraform for provisioning workflows, and Ansible for configuration management.
Our experience with AWS SSM helped us build repeatable operational patterns and internal tooling that clients used to manage fleets securely, reduce manual server work, and standardize day-2 operations across AWS accounts and environments.
Some of the things we did include:
- Implemented Session Manager to replace inbound SSH/RDP, including IAM least-privilege policies, logging, and audit trails.
- Rolled out Patch Manager baselines and maintenance windows for Linux and Windows fleets, with staged deployments and compliance reporting.
- Built Run Command automations for routine operations (package updates, service restarts, log collection) and integrated them into CI/CD runbooks.
- Designed Parameter Store layouts for multi-environment configuration, including secure string handling and rotation workflows with AWS KMS.
- Created Automation documents to standardize instance bootstrap, tagging enforcement, and remediation steps for common operational incidents.
- Integrated AWS SSM with AWS CloudWatch for command/patch visibility and alerting on failed runs and compliance drift.
- Connected SSM workflows to AWS IAM and AWS Organizations to support centralized access patterns across multiple accounts.
- Enabled hybrid/on-prem node management using SSM managed instances, including onboarding, certificate handling, and network/proxy considerations.
- Hardened SSM endpoints using VPC endpoints and restricted egress, supporting private subnets and regulated environments.
- Trained client teams on runbook design, access controls, and safe operational practices, and provided ongoing support for evolving automation needs.
This experience helped us accumulate significant knowledge across multiple AWS SSM use-cases, and it enables us to deliver high-quality AWS SSM setups that are secure, observable, and practical to operate at scale. For broader context on AWS systems management capabilities, see AWS Systems Manager documentation.
Some of the things we can help you do with AWS SSM include:
- Assess your current AWS SSM usage and produce a practical review report covering inventory, patching, access controls, and automation gaps.
- Create an adoption roadmap for standardizing server and instance management across accounts, regions, and environments.
- Implement and configure core capabilities such as Session Manager, Run Command, Automation, Patch Manager, and Parameter Store for day-to-day operations.
- Design security and compliance guardrails (IAM least privilege, logging, encryption, and change controls) aligned to your risk and audit requirements.
- Automate common operational workflows (patching, maintenance windows, incident response runbooks) to reduce manual toil and improve reliability.
- Integrate AWS SSM with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices to make configuration repeatable and environment-consistent.
- Optimize performance and cost by tuning patch baselines, scheduling, fleet targeting, and automation execution to minimize downtime and wasted compute.
- Troubleshoot SSM agent connectivity, permissions, and hybrid activation issues to restore visibility and control quickly.
- Enable your teams with hands-on training, runbooks, and operational patterns so SSM becomes part of your standard operating procedures.
- Provide ongoing operational support for continuous improvement, governance, and scaling across your AWS footprint.
