Reference: Amazon S3 buckets for patching operations
In the course of performing various Patch Manager patching operations, AWS Systems Manager Agent
(SSM Agent) accesses certain Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets that are owned and maintained by
Amazon Web Services (AWS). These S3 buckets are publicly accessible, and by default, SSM Agent
connects to them using HTTP calls.
However, if you're using a virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint in your Systems Manager operations, you must provide explicit permission in an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance profile for Systems Manager, or in a service role for non-EC2 machines in a hybrid and multicloud environment. Otherwise, your resources can't access these public buckets.
This reference topic lists the patching-related buckets for each supported AWS Region.
For information about specifying these S3 buckets in EC2 instance profiles, see SSM Agent communications with AWS managed S3 buckets.
For information about using VPC endpoints with Systems Manager, see Improve the security of EC2 instances by using VPC endpoints for Systems Manager.
