EC2 Rescue, Systems Manager Automation

EC2Rescue can help you diagnose and troubleshoot problems on Amazon EC2 Linux and Windows Server instances. You can run the tool manually or you can run the tool automatically by using Systems Manager Automation and the AWSSupport-ExecuteEC2Rescue document. The AWSSupport-ExecuteEC2Rescue document is designed to perform a combination of Systems Manager actions, AWS CloudFormation actions, and Lambda functions that automate the steps normally required to use EC2Rescue.

Systems Manager Automation simplifies common maintenance and deployment tasks of Amazon EC2 instances and other AWS resources. Automation enables you to do the following:

– Build Automation workflows to configure and manage instances and AWS resources.

– Create custom workflows or use pre-defined workflows maintained by AWS.

– Receive notifications about Automation tasks and workflows by using Amazon CloudWatch Events.

– Monitor Automation progress and execution details by using the Amazon EC2 or the AWS Systems Manager console.
