EC2 Run Command adds document sharing capability

Posted on: May 12, 2016

Today, we are excited to announce EC2 Run Command document sharing. This new capability lets you collaborate with other users on developing new custom commands. Using EC2 Run Command, you can create custom commands (called Run Command documents), share documents with other AWS users, and find documents shared with you. You can share Run Command documents privately or publish them publicly for the AWS Community to use. 

We launched EC2 Run Command in October 2015 to provide a simple way of automating common administrative tasks like installing software or patches, running shell commands, performing operating system changes and more. Run Command allows you to execute commands at scale and provides visibility into the results, making it easy to manage your instances.
