AWS Python SDK Boto3

Question

Is there a way to use Boto3 client in python to check processes running on a AWS EC2 Windows instance? Also is it possible to start an application on a AWS Windows EC2 instance using the boto3 Python SDK?

Answer 1

You can start a process on an EC2 instance using the AWS System Manager service, which you can call via Boto3 . Note that this requires you to have the SSM agent running on the EC2 instance.

Checking the processes running on an EC2 instance might be a bit more difficult. I suppose you could execute something like a ps command (not sure what the equivalent is in Windows) via the SSM service, and then parse the output in the response your Python function receives.
