2018/08/08 - Amazon Simple Systems Manager (SSM) - 3 updated api methods
Changes AWS Systems Manager Automation is launching two new features for Automation Execution Rate Control based on tags and customized parameter maps. With the first feature, customer can target their resources by specifying a Tag with Key/Value. With the second feature, Parameter maps rate control, customers can benefit from customization of input parameters.
{'AutomationExecutionMetadataList': {'TargetMaps': [{'string': ['string']}]}}
Provides details about all active and terminated Automation executions.

An array of search criteria that targets instances using a Key,Value combination that you specify. Targets is required if you don't provide one or more instance IDs in the call.
Key (string) --
User-defined criteria for sending commands that target instances that meet the criteria. Key can be tag:<Amazon EC2 tag> or InstanceIds. For more information about how to send commands that target instances using Key,Value parameters, see Targeting Multiple Instances in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide .

string
The maximum number of targets allowed to run this task in parallel. You can specify a number, such as 10, or a percentage, such as 10%. The default value is 10.
string
The number of errors that are allowed before the system stops running the automation on additional targets. You can specify either an absolute number of errors, for example 10, or a percentage of the target set, for example 10%. If you specify 3, for example, the system stops running the automation when the fourth error is received. If you specify 0, then the system stops running the automation on additional targets after the first error result is returned. If you run an automation on 50 resources and set max-errors to 10%, then the system stops running the automation on additional targets when the sixth error is received.
Executions that are already running an automation when max-errors is reached are allowed to complete, but some of these executions may fail as well. If you need to ensure that there won't be more than max-errors failed executions, set max-concurrency to 1 so the executions proceed one at a time.
