AWS Systems Manager now enables advanced flow control for Automation runbook executions
AWS Systems Manager Automation now lets you define the actions to perform when an operator cancels the execution of a runbook. Using this feature, you can automatically roll back any changes or perform necessary cleanups when the execution of a runbook is canceled.
You can use Systems Manager Automation to author runbooks to perform common IT tasks, such as patching or restarting instances, at scale with rate controls. Now, when an operator initiates the cancellation of the runbook execution, you can control the flow of the runbook by either stopping the execution or branching to a different step of the runbook.
This feature is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Systems Manager is offered. For more information about Automation, visit the Systems Manager product page and Systems Manager Automation documentation.
