Fleet Manager, a feature in Amazon Systems Manager (SSM) that helps IT Admins streamline and scale their remote server management processes, now enables a console-based management experience for Windows instances in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. This feature provides customers a full graphical interface to setup secure connections to and manage Windows instances. You no longer need to install additional software, set up additional servers, or open direct inbound access to ports on the instance.
Fleet Manager now provides a simple browser-based means to access Windows servers using Remote Desktop Protocol, or RDP, with security protocols. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections into Windows servers are established through a few simple steps in the console providing access to your server or server-based application. With this feature, you can simultaneously open connections to multiple servers at once and access them from the same console removing the need to switch back and forth between tabs.
Fleet Manager is a console-based experience in Amazon Systems Manager that provides you with visual tools to manage your Windows and Linux servers. With it, you can easily perform common administrative tasks such as file system exploration, log management, Windows Registry operations, performance counters, and user management from a single console. Fleet Manager manages instances running both on Amazon Web Services Cloud and on-premises, without needing to remotely connect to the servers.
