SSM session manager is basically a HTTP wrapper over a shell. You have to use browser for SSM which mostly works until it doesn't. I had trouble sometimes copy pasting to it.
This new service is basically a managed SSH so things like port forwarding etc will work. With SSM you can't do port forwarding etc because it is not SSH aware.
- CSDude 7y agoBut this needs to expose SSH? SSM is great (although its not fast enough) because it eliminates our jumpers
- gauravphoenix 7y agoYeah but then a lot of people have use cases for SSH. The solution is targeted towards replacing jump boxes.
- otterley 7y agoIt's absolutely possible (and supported!) to connect to your instance via SSM without using a browser: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-working-with-sessions-start.html#sessions-start-cli https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide...
- gauravphoenix 7y agothat's good! I hope someday the AWS CLI will come bundled "the Session Manager plugin".
