EC2 Instance Connect is a service that publishes ssh keys for use by EC2 instances based on AWS Credentials. These keys are consumed by on-instance configuration provided by this package. The ssh daemon will query EC2 Instance Metadata service for user-keys at ssh calltime, validate any if present as well as validating their signature, and if all checks pass return will include them in the authorized keys list.
In addition, there is an agent that harvests instance ssh host keys and passes them back to the service. This is for authentication purposes by the EC2 console to open an in-browser ssh terminal connection.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install ec2-instance-connect, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ec2-instance-connect
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
