## Description

The Infection Monkey can run on AWS EC2 instances using the AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Agent. The SSM Agent is software installed on each EC2 instance that allows for updates, management, and configuration. It receives requests from AWS Systems Manager and executes them on the instance, using the Amazon Message Delivery Service to report back status and execution details.

This feature lets you execute the Infection Monkey Agent on selected EC2 instances without manual intervention, enabling simulation of various scenarios across your AWS infrastructure by running the Monkey on multiple instances.

EC2 instances must be configured with the SSM agent and the necessary IAM roles to allow Monkey Island to execute commands. The Monkey Island will automatically detect running AWS instances and offer the option to deploy the Monkey on them.
