Question
A company must ensure that all Amazon EC2 Windows instances that are launched in an AWS account have a third-party agent installed. The company uses AWS Systems Manager, and the Windows instances are tagged appropriately. The company must deploy periodic updates to the third-party agent when the updates become available.
Which combination of steps will meet these requirements with the LEAST operational effort? (Choose two.)
- A. Create a Systems Manager Distributor package for the third-party agent. Correct
- B. Create a Systems Manager OpsItem that includes the tag value for Windows. Attach the Systems Manager inventory to the OpsItem.
- C. Create an AWS Lambda function. Program the Lambda function to log in to each instance and to install or update the third-party agent as needed.
- D. Create a Systems Manager State Manager association to run the AWS-RunRemoteScript document Populate the details of the third-party agent package.
- E. Create a Systems Manager State Manager association to run the AWS-ConfigureAWSPackage document. Populate the details of the third-party agent package. Specify instance tags based on the appropriate tag value for Windows. Correct
Explanation
Option A is correct because creating a Systems Manager Distributor package allows for the distribution and installation of software packages across multiple instances efficiently. Option E is correct as it involves using State Manager to run the AWS-ConfigureAWSPackage document, which can be used to install or update third-party agents on tagged Windows instances with minimal operational effort.
