| Automation runbook | A Systems Manager Automation runbook defines the automation (the actions that Systems Manager performs on your managed nodes and AWS resources). Automation includes several pre-defined runbooks that you can use to perform common tasks like restarting one or more Amazon EC2 instances or creating an Amazon Machine Image (AMI). You can create your own runbooks as well. Runbooks use YAML or JSON, and they include steps and parameters that you specify. Steps run in sequential order. For more information, see Creating your own runbooks.Runbooks are Systems Manager documents of type Automation, as opposed to Command, Policy, Session documents. Runbooks support schema version 0.3. Command documents use schema version 1.2, 2.0, or 2.2. Policy documents use schema version 2.0 or later. |
| Automation action | The automation defined in a runbook includes one or more steps. Each step is associated with a particular action. The action determines the inputs, behavior, and outputs of the step. Steps are defined in the mainSteps section of your runbook. Automation supports 20 distinct action types. For more information, see the Systems Manager Automation actions reference. |
| Automation quota | Each AWS account can run 100 automations simultaneously. This includes child automations (automations that are started by another automation), and rate control automations. If you attempt to run more automations than this, Systems Manager adds the additional automations to a queue and displays a status of Pending. For more information about running automations, see Running automations. |
| Automation queue quota | If you attempt to run more automations than the concurrent automation limit, subsequent automations are added to a queue. Each AWS account can queue 1,000 automations. When an automation is complete (or reaches a terminal state), the first automation in the queue is started. |
| Rate control automation quota | Each AWS account can run 25 rate control automations simultaneously. If you attempt to run more rate control automations than the concurrent rate control automation limit, Systems Manager adds the subsequent rate control automations to a queue and displays a status of Pending. For more information about running rate control automations, see Run automations at scale. |
| Rate control automation queue quota | If you attempt to run more automations than the concurrent rate control automation limit, subsequent automations are added to a queue. Each AWS account can queue 1,000 rate control automations. When an automation is complete (or reaches a terminal state), the first automation in the queue is started. |
