Discover how to deploy and manage the SSM Agent on unmanaged EC2 instances to streamline cloud infrastructure management.
In the final part of this series, I will demonstrate how to configure EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) through the use of AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Run Commands using a tag based approach to target EC2 instances to run our IMDS commands against. In addition, I will look at automating this process using EventBridge to maintain IMDS on a periodic basis.
In this two-part series, I will explain and demonstrate how to update your EC2 instances to use IMDSv2 as well as automate this process through the use of SSM Documents that can be provisioned within your CloudFormation templates.
