Reply To: Use IAM role for On Prem server

[Jon-Bonso]

Hi Claude,

Thank you for posting your question. The “register-on-premises-instance” process is actually a CodeDeploy command and not for Systems Manager Parameter Store. For Hybrid environment, you have to install the Systems Manager (SSM) agent to your servers on-premises. Here are the steps:

The Servers and virtual machines (VMs) in a hybrid environment require an IAM role to communicate with the Systems Manager service. The role grants AssumeRole trust to the Systems Manager service in order to call the SSM API. The steps are shown in this document:
