Run CommandRemote Server Management At Scale

Amazon EC2

Remote server management

What we heard:

• Need to tweak server configuration or collect basic

info from a group of servers

• Hard to ensure change is implemented consistently

• Need to control access but enable progress

• Want to know who did what and where

Introducing EC2 Run Command

• Remote administration of EC2 instances at scale

• Easily invoke predefined actions or scripts on

your instances from the EC2 console, AWS CLI,

or API

• Delegate control and limit access to servers

Predefined actions

Included is a set of predefined building block

actions for quick access to common tasks:• Install MSI applications

• Configure Windows Update settings

• Deploy and install Windows PowerShell DSC modules

• Join the instance to a domain

• Configure Amazon CloudWatch logs agent

• Run a Windows PowerShell command, or execute a script

Broad applicability

Enabling common administrative tasks

• Install and configure third-party agents and software

• Local user and group management

• Check for installed software or patches

• Restart a Windows service (e.g., iisreset)

• Update a scheduled task

Run Command - Benefits

Secure

Delegating access to commands with AWS

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

policies enables you to reduce the number of

users who have direct access to a server.

Reliability

Increase the reliability of your workloads by

templatizing your configuration changes, which

allows you to predictably roll out change.

Visibility

Increase your visibility into configuration

change with easy command tracking and

integration with AWS CloudTrail.

Scalable

Easily run a command against a fleet of EC2

instances at the same time.

Easy to Use

Choose from a set of out of the box commands

to invoke and track their progress from the EC2

console, AWS CLI, and API.

Customizable

Tailor your experience for your needs by

creating your own custom actions.
