Automating the deployment of software agents centrally using AWS Systems Manager
summary
Deploys a Snow agent as an SSM Distributor package (MSI/RPM/DEB zipped with manifest) stored in a shared S3 bucket, shares it across accounts via an SSM Automation document and daily rule, and pushes installation with a State Manager association targeted by instance tag. Automation and CloudFormation stack sets are deployed through Control Tower customization into a shared services account so new accounts auto-receive updates; demo shows execution status (Success=1) and the agent process running.
