This document discusses automating EC2 operations on AWS through auto backup, auto patching, and auto recovery. Auto backup uses AWS Backup to create AMIs of EC2 instances on a scheduled basis. Auto patching uses AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager to patch EC2 instances on a schedule. Auto recovery monitors CloudWatch alarms and metrics, and uses Lambda, SNS, and Run Command to restart processes or instances when issues are detected. The goal of automation is to make operations easier and allow time to be used for other tasks.
