targets
An array of search criteria that targets managed nodes using a Key,Value
combination that you specify. Specifying targets is most useful when you want to send a command to a large number of managed nodes at once. Using Targets
, which accepts tag key-value pairs to identify managed nodes, you can send a command to tens, hundreds, or thousands of nodes at once.
To send a command to a smaller number of managed nodes, you can use the InstanceIds
option instead.
For more information about how to use targets, see Run commands at scale in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
