Our primary use case for AWS Systems Manager is to dynamically export values from one service to ARN and share them across multiple AWS accounts. We have operational, security, and other accounts like sandbox and depth. Systems Manager facilitates secure deployment of roles or policies and passing them to other AWS services.

I use AWS Systems Manager primarily for infrastructure management and automation. One of its key benefits is managing patches and updates for our EC2 instances, including both Windows and Linux workloads. It can perform compliance checks on all managed workloads, identifying which systems aren't compliant or haven't been patched. Runbooks are a significant feature, enabling the automation of various tasks. For example, I can use a runbook to automate this process if I need to configure DNS on a hundred servers. Parameter Store is crucial for securely storing sensitive data like database credentials. It provides an extra layer of isolation and encryption for information we don't want visible in clear text. The inventory feature is useful because it records all applications installed on workloads managed by the AWS Systems Manager.

I use AWS Systems Manager in my AWS account. I mainly use it to control and mitigate unauthorized access. I also use it to track my cloud activity with CloudTrail and manage configurations with AWS Config.
I utilize AWS Systems Manager for managing and handling interviews, resources, security, and configurations like database connections, API keys, and passwords. With AWS, I can execute commands on-premises servers. I also use AWS as a patch manager to automate instance patching for data security and overall automation. For automated resource setup, I use AWS CloudFormation to deploy applications based on specific configurations stored in AWS Systems Manager. This includes managing security, version control, and deploying scripts through automation documents. AWS Systems Manager's automation capabilities, along with tools like AWS Lambda, allow for streamlined execution and integration into continuous integration or pipeline processes via the AWS Management Console.

We have some applications that cater to the requirements of a Smart Farming community. We have some sensor soil sensors that are planted in the farms, and then these sensors collect soil data. Then we have the application analyze the inputs from the sensor and also take the weather parameters, crop details, and soil type.

AWS Services Manager is used to upload the image. And if there's something wrong, we use it to look at the logs and diagnose problems. We sometimes use Services Manager to redeploy and deal with scaling issues and configuration—like for example, what kind of memory needs to be allocated. Things like that.
Configuration Management streamlines the process of maintaining consistency of a product's performance and functional attributes, ensuring optimal operations and adaptability.
Implementing Configuration Management enhances control over developing, updating, and deploying software applications. It ensures that all environments are standardized across the development lifecycle, reducing errors and downtime. This approach assists with compliance, documentation, and easier rollback...
