What AWS services do you tunnel into most — and what's missing?
by•
Right now, SSM Manager supports four services out of the box:
OpenSearch
Aurora PostgreSQL
ElastiCache Redis
Amazon MQ
Each one comes with pre-configured remote and local ports, so you don’t have to look them up every time.
But I know teams tunnel into a lot more than that: DocumentDB, MSK (Kafka), Elasticsearch, internal HTTP APIs, and custom TCP services on arbitrary ports.
A few things I’d love to hear from people who use SSM port forwarding daily:
1. What services do you connect to that aren’t on this list?
2. Do you mostly use fixed ports, or do you frequently override them per connection?
3. Would an “Open in browser” or “Copy URL” shortcut save you meaningful time?
