Insight 📝

  • AWS Systems Manager Session Manager is the AWS-recommended approach that addresses key security concerns with traditional SSH key pairs:
    • Eliminates shared key distribution and management overhead
    • Provides IAM-based access control for granular permissions
    • Enables full session auditing via CloudWatch/S3
    • Removes the need for open SSH port (22), reducing attack surface
