When you configure Amazon Systems Manager Inventory, you specify the type of metadata to collect, the managed nodes to collect from, and a schedule for metadata collection. These configurations are saved with your Amazon Web Services account as an Amazon Systems Manager State Manager association. An association is simply a configuration.
