Using a combination of Systems Manager State Manager, State Manager Associations, AWS Secrets Manager, and an SSM Document, you can install CrowdStrike Falcon EDR on Systems Manager Managed EC2 Instances and ensure installation of Falcon EDR on all new instances, in an account.
This differs from CrowdStrike’s Automating CrowdStrike Falcon agent deployment with AWS EventBridge and AWS Systems Manager State Manager solution as it does not rely on SSM Distributor packages, nor Lambda functions, and therefore supports more operating systems as of February 2023. However, if customers want a fully Vendor supported solution, they should use CrowdStrike's.
