Ec2 managedinstance association compliance status check remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of “Status of Managed Instance Compliance should be checked” for AWS EC2 using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:

Check Compliance Status: Run the following AWS CLI command to check the compliance status of your EC2 instances:
```
aws ssm describe-instance-information --output json
```
Identify Non-Compliant Instances: Look for instances that have a “PingStatus” or “LastPingDateTime” indicating non-compliance.
Update SSM Agent: If the non-compliant instances have outdated SSM agents, update the SSM agent on those instances by following these steps:
- Connect to the non-compliant EC2 instance using SSH.
- Run the following commands to update the SSM agent:
  sudo yum update -y amazon-ssm-agent sudo systemctl restart amazon-ssm-agent
Check Compliance Again: Run the command in step 1 to check the compliance status of the instances again to ensure that the SSM agent update resolved the issue.
Automate Compliance Checks: To ensure continuous compliance monitoring, consider setting up AWS Config Rules or AWS Systems Manager Automation to automatically check and remediate compliance issues.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of “Status of Managed Instance Compliance should be checked” for AWS EC2 using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration related to the status of managed instance compliance for AWS EC2 instances using Python, you can use the AWS Systems Manager (SSM) service to check the compliance status of managed instances. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to do this:

Install the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) if you haven’t already. You can install it using pip:

pip install boto3

Create a Python script with the following code to check the compliance status of managed instances:

import boto3

# Initialize the AWS SDK
ssm_client = boto3.client('ssm')

# Get a list of managed instances
response = ssm_client.describe_instance_information()

# Check the compliance status for each managed instance
for instance in response['InstanceInformationList']:
    instance_id = instance['InstanceId']
    compliance_summary = ssm_client.get_compliance_summary_by_resource(
        ResourceType='ManagedInstance',
        ResourceId=instance_id
    )
    compliance_status = compliance_summary['ComplianceSummary']['ComplianceType']
    
    print(f"Instance ID: {instance_id}, Compliance Status: {compliance_status}")

Run the Python script to check the compliance status of managed instances. If the compliance status is not as expected, you may need to investigate further to identify and remediate the underlying issues causing non-compliance.

By following these steps, you can use Python and the Boto3 library to check the compliance status of managed instances in AWS EC2 and take appropriate remediation actions as needed.
