aws/amazon-ssm-agent

Can we use this to SSH into a Kubernetes dev pod?

Hi there - I haven't seen any docs on this use case, but we'd like to migrate some dev EC2 instances to using Kubernetes pods instead.

I'm assuming it will be something like:

  • Give the pod a role for registering with ssm (AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore?)
  • Install and start the SSM Agent
  • Give the developers a role for accessing their agent

Are there any issues/considerations we should make when running amazon-ssm-agent in an (Ubuntu) pod so that we can allow SSH tunneling from a developer laptop into the pod?

Thanks!

alex-treebeard,

You will need a hybrid activation and run your agent as on-prem mode. Please follow this link to confirm whether your Ubuntu OS is supported. If you run into any issues, please feel free to open an AWS support case.
