AWS Systems Manager simplifies onboarding of Google Cloud VMs for centralized management

AWS Systems Manager Cloud Connector now extends simplified multicloud onboarding support to Google Cloud, making it easy to connect your existing Google Cloud VMs to Systems Manager for centralized management alongside AWS, on-premises, and Azure resources without manual agent installation. Previously, managing virtual machines across multiple cloud providers often required coordinating and setting up configurations separately in each environment.

With Cloud Connector for Google Cloud, you can automatically deploy the SSM Agent to Google Cloud VMs at scale. Once connected, Google Cloud VMs appear alongside EC2 instances, on-premises servers, and other multicloud resources in a unified view, enabling you to use Session Manager, Automation runbooks, Run Command, State Manager, Patch Manager, and Inventory across AWS, on-premises, Azure, and Google Cloud from a single workflow. This simplifies operations for teams managing infrastructure across multiple clouds, enabling them to standardize management practices and reduce operational complexity.

Cloud Connector for Google Cloud is available in Africa (Cape Town), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Jakarta, Malaysia, Melbourne, Mumbai, New Zealand, Osaka, Seoul, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei, Thailand, Tokyo), Canada (Central, Calgary), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Stockholm, Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), Mexico (Central), South America (Sao Paulo), US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), and US West (N. California, Oregon).
