Create an SSM document
After you create the content for your custom SSM document, as described in Writing SSM document content, you can use the Systems Manager console to create an SSM document using your content.
To create an SSM document
Open the AWS Systems Manager console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/
. In the navigation pane, choose Documents.
-
Choose Create command or session.
-
Enter a descriptive name for the document.
-
(Optional) For Target type, specify the type of resources the document can run on.
-
In the Document type list, choose the type of document you want to create.
-
Delete the brackets in the Content field, and then paste the document content you created earlier.
-
(Optional) In the Document tags section, apply one or more tag key name/value pairs to the document.
Tags are optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags allow you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a document to identify the type of tasks it runs, the type of operating systems it targets, and the environment it runs in. In this case, you could specify the following key name/value pairs:
-
Key=TaskType,Value=MyConfigurationUpdate -
Key=OS,Value=AMAZON_LINUX_2 -
Key=Environment,Value=Production
-
-
Choose Create document to save the document.
