Amazon EC2 Managed Resource Visibility

Amazon EC2 now allows you to control whether resources provisioned by managed instance offerings appear in your Amazon EC2 console views and API list operations. Managed Instances are instances provisioned and managed by a designated service provider, such as Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, AWS Lambda, or Amazon Workspaces. AWS is responsible for the configuration, patching, and health of these managed EC2 instances and associated resources.

Previously, managed resources appeared alongside self-managed ones in API responses and resource consoles. Now, with Managed resource visibility settings, any new managed resources are hidden by default from your resource console views and describe API responses, aligning better with the shared responsibility model.

What to do

  • Configure managed resource visibility through the Amazon EC2 console or by using the AWS CLI.
