- User name

[Configuration on VMM]
- Go to Fabric workspace
- On toolbar, clic AWS EC2
- Enter Access Key
- Enter Secret Access Key
- Note:- Refer to the credential.csv file that you download from previous step
The credential will be associated with the logged in Windows user on the host system
Click on VM and Services workspace
Select All Host Host Group
Click on AWS EC2 on the toolbar
Now you can view, reboot, stop,start and terminate instances.
Based on our testing, we also can perform
- Grant permission to users so that they can manage EC2 instances from SCVMM
- Users can get the password for their Windows instances and connect to them using RDP
- User can get the public DNS names for their Linux instances and connect to them using SSH
At this moment, we cannot provision a new virtual machine. Therefore you need to create EC2 instance from AWS Management Console, AWS CLI or an AWS SDK.
