Description
The user creates a package with Breeze Agent. The distributor publishes this package to System Manager managed instances. Then the agent can be installed or uninstalled:
one time by using AWS Systems Manager Run Command
on a schedule by using AWS Systems Manager State Manager
Prerequisites
The distributor package consists of a manifest and two .zip archive files for Windows and Linux platforms. Each archive contains install and uninstall scripts, as well as Breeze Agent distro respectively to the platform. The manifest template and scripts can be obtained from Github repository.
In the file manifest.json find the field "version" and change its value to something meaningful. This is also the value of Version name that should be specified when the package will be added to the Distributor (it becomes part of the AWS Systems Manager document). A version value can contain letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods, and be from 3 to 128 characters in length. It is recommended to use a human-readable value.
