Easily install the Datadog Agent using AWS Systems Manager

AWS Systems Manager (SSM) offers a marketplace of pre-packaged software scripts for SSM-managed Windows and Linux instances, enabling users to automatically install custom software on large groups of instances. Datadog now provides documents that enable easy, one-click installation of the latest version of its Agent for both Linux and Windows through the AWS SSM marketplace. This allows joint Datadog and AWS users to install the Agent without having to configure the Agent YAML file, saving them time and energy. The one-click installation also offers an easy way to automate Agent updates across a distributed system. Additionally, once installed, the Datadog Agent provides out-of-the-box dashboards for monitoring AWS services and can be combined with Datadog's AWS integration for more granular tagging and alerting capabilities.
