AWS Systems Manager simplifies Azure VM management and hybrid node pricing

You can now connect and manage Azure Virtual Machines in AWS Systems Manager without manual agent installation or per-instance tier fees. Create a Cloud Connector and automatically deploy the SSM Agent to your Azure VMs at scale. Once connected, Azure VMs appear alongside EC2 instances in a unified view, and you can connect to them using Session Manager, run Automation runbooks, Run Command, State Manager, Patch Manager, and Inventory across both AWS and Azure from a single workflow.
