Step 2: Verify your instances and edge devices can be managed by Systems Manager

For Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances; Amazon IoT Greengrass core devices; and on-premises servers, edge devices, and virtual machines (VMs) to be monitored and managed using Fleet Manager, a capability of Amazon Systems Manager, they must be Systems Manager managed nodes. This means your nodes must meet certain prerequisites and be configured with the Amazon Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent). For more information, see Setting up Amazon Systems Manager.

You can use Quick Setup, a capability of Amazon Systems Manager, to help you quickly configure your Amazon EC2 instances as managed instances in an individual account. If your business or organization uses Amazon Organizations, you can also configure instances across multiple organizational units (OUs) and Amazon Web Services Regions. For more information about using Quick Setup to configure managed instances, see Amazon EC2 host management.

Note

For non-EC2 machines that aren't running on Amazon, use a hybrid activation to configure the machine for use with Systems Manager in a hybrid and multicloud. For information about hybrid activations, see Amazon Systems Manager Hybrid Activations.
