Try out the AWS managed
Hello World change template
You can use the sample change template
AWS-HelloWorldChangeTemplate, which uses the sample Automation
runbook AWS-HelloWorld, to test the review and approval process
after you have finished setting up Change Manager, a capability of AWS Systems Manager. This
template is designed for testing or verifying your configured permissions,
approver assignments, and approval process. Approval to use this
change template in your organization or account has already been provided by
AWS. Any change request based on this change template, however, must still
be approved by reviewers in your organization or account.
Rather than make changes to a resource, the result of the runbook workflow associated with this template is to print a message in the output of an Automation step.
Before you begin
Before you begin, ensure you have completed the following tasks:
-
If you're using AWS Organizations to manage change across an organization, complete the organization setup tasks described in Setting up Change Manager for an organization (management account).
-
Configure Change Manager for your delegated administrator account or single account, as described in Configuring Change Manager options and best practices.
Note
If you turned on the best practice option Require monitors for all templates in your Change Manager settings, turn it off temporarily while you test the Hello World change template.
