Amazon EC2 announces Managed resource visibility settings

Amazon EC2 now lets you control whether resources provisioned by managed instance offerings appear in your Amazon EC2 console views and API list operations.

Amazon EC2 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 managed EC2 instances as well as other associated resources like EBS volumes, snapshots and Network Interfaces. Until today, by default these managed resources appeared alongside self-managed ones in API responses and respective resource consoles even though AWS is responsible for managing these resources. Now, with Managed resource visibility settings, any new managed resources are hidden by default from your resource console views and describe API responses such as EC2 console and describe-instances API responses, to align better with the shared responsibility model of these resources.

You can configure managed resource visibility through the Amazon EC2 console or by using the AWS CLI. To learn more, see Managed resource visibility settings the Amazon EC2 User Guide.
