What is AWS Systems Manager?

AWS Systems Manager is a service that lets you both view and control your AWS infrastructure. Formerly known as Amazon Simple Systems Manager (SSM), System Manager provides a console, in which you can monitor operational data across the AWS services that you use. It can also automate operational tasks through predefined or custom runbooks. The service can further scan your managed instances for policy violations and either report or correct these.

With Systems Manager, you can simplify your resource and application management, shorten the length of time required to detect and resolve operational issues, and securely manage your infrastructure at scale.

System Manager can also manage your on-premise servers within the same interface. It does this through a cross-platform agent that you install on your servers. ITSM (IT Service Management) tools such as ServiceNow can further use Systems Manager through the AWS Service Management Connector to provide governance over your infrastructure.
