AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate SOA-C02 — Topic 1 Question 126

Question

A SysOps administrator uses AWS Systems Manager Session Manager to connect to instances. After the SysOps administrator launches a new Amazon EC2 instance, the EC2 instance does not appear in the Session Manager list of systems that are available for connection. The SysOps administrator verifies that Systems Manager Agent is installed, updated, and running on the EC2 instance. What is the reason for this issue?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The correct answer is C. Option C: The EC2 instance does not have an attached IAM role that allows Session Manager to connect to the EC2 instance. Amazon EC2 provides resizable virtual servers when you need full control of the operating system. An IAM role grants temporary, least-privilege permissions to AWS resources without long-term credentials. AWS IAM controls authenticated and authorized access to AWS resources with fine-grained policies.
