Prerequisites for automated instance configuration

For AMS Advanced customers who deploy instances with Change Management, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • The SSM Agent is installed, and in a managed state.

  • The instance is tagged as a managed instance. (The aws:cloudformation:stack-name tag has a value starting with stack- or sc-.)

If the SSM Agent is not already installed on your instance, you can install it using the AMS SSM Agent auto installation feature. For more information, see SSM Agent automatic installation.

Or, you can install the SSM Agent manually. For more information, see the following:

For more information on SSM agent, see the AWS documentation Working with SSM Agent.
