AWS Systems Manager Automation now supports running a single workflow in remote accounts and Regions

Posted on: Dec 20, 2019

You can use Systems Manager Automation to run a single task across multiple accounts and multiple Regions. With this launch, you can target a single remote resource instead of starting workflows for multiple remote resources using tags or resource groups. For example, you can centrally trigger Amazon Inspector runs across all your accounts in all Regions to discover potential security issues on your AWS resources.  

Automation is a feature in Systems Manager. Systems Manager enables visibility and control of your cloud and on-premises infrastructure. It simplifies resource and application management, shortens the time to detect and resolve operational problems, and makes it easier to operate and manage your infrastructure securely at scale.  

Automation is available in all commercial Regions, China Regions, and AWS GovCloud (US). For more information about Automation, visit the AWS Systems Manager Product page and Documentation.
