Description

Adds AWS Session Manager support to the AWS CLI for starting managed shell or port-forwarding sessions to cloud instances. It helps administrators access systems without direct SSH exposure when AWS permissions are configured.

Cloud session access is sensitive. Protect AWS credentials, IAM policies, session logs, and port forwarding rules, because this plugin can provide interactive access to production infrastructure.
