Now, you have more flexibility to leverage your existing identity provider for change management practices.
With Change Manager, you can use predefined change workflows to help automate approvals and avoid unintentional results when making operational changes. Each change request can require one or more approvals from IAM users or groups. With this launch, you can also add IAM roles as approvers. For example, if your approvers assume a role when logging into AWS, you can enable anyone assuming that role to approve change requests. Change Manager also integrates with AWS Single Sign-On as another option to enable you to leverage your existing identity source when specifying approvers.
Change Manager is available in all AWS Regions where Systems Manager is offered (excluding the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and AWS China Regions).
