Amazon EC2 announces Managed resource visibility settings
Amazon EC2 now lets you control whether resources provisioned by managed instances offerings appear in your Amazon EC2 console views and API list operations.
Amazon EC2 managed instances are instances provisioned and operated by Amazon Web Services on your behalf. Services such as Amazon EKS Auto Mode, Amazon ECS Managed Instances, Amazon Lambda Managed Instances, and Amazon WorkSpaces Core managed instances create and manage EC2 instances, EBS volumes, snapshots, and network interfaces directly within your account. These resources appear alongside your own in the EC2 console and API responses, which can make it harder to identify and manage the resources you operate yourself. With managed resource visibility settings, you can now hide these managed resources from your EC2 console views and describe API responses, giving you a cleaner view of your self-managed infrastructure. You can still view managed resources through the respective service consoles, such as the Amazon EKS or Amazon ECS console.
New managed resources are hidden by default. Resources already created by managed instance offerings remain visible until you adjust your settings. You can configure visibility through the Amazon EC2 console under Account Attributes, or by using the Amazon CLI. Visibility settings control only resource display; hidden resources remain fully operational and billable.
