AWS Tutorials - Using Amazon Session Manager for Secure RDP Access
The exercise URL - https://aws-dojo.com/excercises/excer...
Session Manager is a AWS Systems Manager capability that allows to manage EC2 instances, on-premises instances, and virtual machines (VMs) through an interactive one-click browser-based shell or through the AWS CLI. Session Manager provides secure and auditable instance management without the need to open inbound ports, maintain bastion hosts, or manage SSH keys.
In this exercise, you use session manager to create secure RDP session with a Windows server. For this access, you will not configure security group for RDP access and you will also not configure key-pair for the Windows EC2 instance. Still - you will be able to connect to the Windows Server over RDP using the Session Manager.
