The AWS Systems Manager (known as SSM) service has been derived from previous services that you may have heard of that are no longer in service, these being AWS EC2 Systems Manager and Amazon Simple Systems Manager.
The service itself is designed to help you manage and give visibility to your infrastructure, particularly when it comes to your EC2 fleet. It also has the ability to configure and manage your virtual compute resources on-premises, as well as within your AWS environment, ensuring they meet specific compliance needs. Using AWS SDKs, the AWS CLI, AWS Toolkit for Windows PowerShell, or even the AWS the Management Console, you are able to centrally manage, review, and automate tasks for your resources. This makes it a great tool for helping you view your infrastructure through a single pane of glass, making it highly scalable.
Much like Amazon Inspector...
