AWS re:Invent 2020: Automate anything with AWS Systems Manager

You can automate any task that involves interaction with AWS and on-premises resources, including in multi-account and multi-Region environments, with AWS Systems Manager. In this session, learn more about three new Systems Manager launches at re:Invent—Change Manager, Fleet Manager, and Application Manager. In addition, learn how Systems Manager Automation can be used across multiple Regions and accounts, integrate with other AWS services, and extend to on-premises. This session takes a deep dive into how to author a custom runbook using an automation document, and how to execute automation anywhere.

Great 101 session. Where are the 401 sessions??

Very enjoyable presentation, well done!

The the automation document language seem very comparable to ansible , only instead of tasks you have actions, but do you get the same visibility?
I would imagine it would be easy to query an automation doc execution for each specific step and know it's error, but if a single task has failed, would you know by way of api which one that is?

The problem is that they fully implement the json selector language

19:01 "you can do this in the web ui but i'm a fan of the command line" what a convenient way to not show the script building process in the web ui because it simply doesn't exist there...

I am lost, when u got to command I way like! But I want to learn.

Hate the fluff in talks like this. I'm sure Darko thought he was being clever and engaging with stories of steam engines and pulleys and levers, but really it's just distracting and undermines the presentation. Every time he goes into one of these clever tangents I just want to hit the skip forward button...but I can't...because I'll jump over actual information. So I'm just basically trapped, no longer thinking of the subject, just stewing in annoyance waiting on this guy to get to the point. "So we invented this nifty thing called 'code'!". Seriously folks, read the room, does the presenter really think anyone watching a re:Invent Systems Manager talk needs an explanation of what code is or why we use it?

I wonder if the assignment was a 30 minute presentation and the fluff added to bulk it out since there's really only 10 minutes of useful information presented here.
