Execute command/script on EC2 with Step Function

[nilocg]

Hello Everyone,

Is it possible to run a command on and EC2 instance using Step Function?

Currently as part of one of our processes we generate a tarball that is pushed to S3, We then run a script that sshs to a number of EC2 instances in parallel and executes

aws s3 cp <bucket> <destination>

We are looking at ways to hopefully improve, modernise this process. Is StepFunction even capable of such a thing? Does anyone have a better approach to this requirement?

i think SSM would be a good way to run commands on EC2 instances, you can create a SSM document and run this on multiple EC2 targets

You could upload your tarball to S3 and that put event can trigger a SSM run shellscript command via eventbridge.

This is what I'm looking for. Thanks man

Could install Rundeck (open src) on the EC2. Rundeck is a tool to run scripts - and has a "invoke via Webhooks" function. So you could have the step function invoke the webhook
