AWS – Amazon Q Developer in chat applications now supports AWS Systems Manager node access approvals

Amazon Q Developer in chat applications now supports AWS Systems Manager just-in-time node access approvals from Microsoft Teams and Slack. AWS customers can now monitor node access requests and approvals from chat channels to enhance security posture and meet compliance requirements.

The Just-in-time node access provides customers policy-based time-bound access to nodes and helps them comply with zero-standing privileges operations model. This launch provides a seamless integration for managing Just-in-time access request approvals in chat applications.

When configuring Just-in-time approval policies, customers can designate Amazon SNS topics associated with Amazon Q Developer in chat applications configurations for managing node access approval requests. As operators make new node access requests, approvers are notified about the requests in the chat channels. They can then approve or reject access requests directly from the chat channel.

Systems Manager node access approval management in chat applications is available at no additional cost in AWS Regions where Amazon Q Developer and System Manager Just-in-time node access are offered. Visit the user guide and Systems Manager pricing to get started.
