Application Manager is a component of AWS Systems Manager. In Application Manager, an application is a logical group of AWS resources that you want to operate as a unit. This logical group can represent different versions of an application, ownership boundaries for operators, or developer environments, to name a few.
The first time you open Application Manager, the What Application Manager can do for you page displays. When you choose Get started, Application Manager automatically imports metadata about your resources that were created in other AWS services or Systems Manager tools. Application Manager then displays those resources in a list grouped by predefined categories.
For Applications, the list includes the following:
-
AWS CloudFormation stacks
-
Custom applications
-
AWS Launch Wizard applications
-
AppRegistry applications
-
AWS SAP Enterprise Workload applications
-
Amazon ECS clusters
-
Amazon EKS clusters
After import is complete, you can view operations information for an application or a specific resource in these predefined categories. Or, if you want to provide more context about a collection of resources, you can manually create an application in Application Manager. You can then add resources or groups of resources into that application. After you create an application in Application Manager, you can view operations information about your resource in the context of an application.
