Need to create ssm document (python) Flow Overview 1. Document 1 (Tagging Stopped Instances for Patching) Collects all stopped instances that have the patchwindow tag. Extracts the patch schedule from the tag (e.g., Weekofday:02:20 → Tuesday at 20:00). Determines the scheduled patching time and adds 1.5 hours as start-after time. Tags the instance with: cldfrc:scheduling:start-after = 21:30 (example). cldfrc:schedudling:disable = true (to prevent auto-stop). startedby = opsteam (to track instances started by automation). 2. Document 2 (Removing Tags and Starting Instances) Accepts an instance ID as input. Describes the instance to check if startedby = opsteam. If found, removes the cldfrc:scheduling:start-after and cldfrc:schedudling:disable tags. Starts the instance. Detailed Flow Step 1: Identify and Tag Stopped Instances SSM Document 1 runs and fetches all stopped instances. It checks if they have a patchwindow tag. The patch window tag contains information like Weekofday:02:20 (Tuesday at 20:00). The script: Converts the day and time into an actual schedule. Calculates start-after = patch time + 1.5 hours. Adds the required tags to the instance. Step 2: Process Tagged Instances in the Second Document SSM Document 2 runs, triggered by external automation or a user action. It takes an instance ID as input. Describes the ins to check if it was tagged as startedby = opsteam. If the tag is found, it removes: cldfrc:scheduling:start-after. cldfrc:schedudling:disable.
