2023/11/16 - Amazon Simple Systems Manager (SSM) - 3 updated api methods
Changes This release introduces the ability to filter automation execution steps which have parent steps. In addition, runbook variable information is returned by GetAutomationExecution and parent step information is returned by the DescribeAutomationStepExecutions API.
{'AutomationExecutionMetadataList': {'AutomationExecutionStatus': {'Exited'}}}
Provides details about all active and terminated Automation executions.
