[All AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate Questions]

A company’s SysOps administrator deploys four new Amazon EC2 instances by using the standard Amazon Linux 2 Amazon Machine Image (AMI). The company needs to be able to use AWS Systems Manager to manage the instances. The SysOps administrator notices that the instances do not appear in the Systems Manager console.

What must the SysOps administrator do to resolve this issue?

A. Connect to each instance by using SSH. Install Systems Manager Agent on each instance. Configure Systems Manager Agent to start automatically when the instances start up.
B. Use AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) to create a TLS certificate. Import the certificate into each instance. Configure Systems Manager Agent to use the TLS certificate for secure communications.
C. Connect to each instance by using SSH. Create an ssm-user account. Add the ssm-user account to the /etc/sudoers.d directory.
D. Attach an IAM instance profile to the instances. Ensure that the instance profile contains the AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore policy.

Selected Answer: D

To use AWS Systems Manager to manage EC2 instances, each instance must have an IAM role with the necessary permissions attached to it. This role is known as an instance profile. The AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore policy grants the necessary permissions for Systems Manager to interact with the EC2 instances.

Its A. To enable AWS Systems Manager to manage EC2 instances, the Systems Manager Agent must be installed and running on each instance. The Systems Manager Agent is responsible for sending data about the instance to AWS Systems Manager and executing commands and scripts on the instance as part of Systems Manager features such as Run Command, Patch Manager, and Session Manager. Option D is incorrect as it refers to attaching an IAM instance profile to the instances with the AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore policy, which is not necessary for resolving the issue of instances not appearing in the Systems Manager console.
