Your company has a hybrid environment with on-premises servers and servers hosted in the AWS cloud. They are planning to use the Systems Manager for patching servers. Which of the following is a pre-requisite for this to work?

Answer options:

A.Ensure that the on-premises servers are running on Hyper-V.
B.Ensure that an IAM service role is created.
C.Ensure that an IAM user is created for the on-premises servers to assume.
D.Ensure that an IAM Group is created for the on-premises servers.

Answer: B
Option A is incorrect since it is unnecessary for on-premises servers to run on Hyper-V.
Option B is correct because you need to ensure that an IAM service role is created for allowing the on-premises servers to communicate with the AWS Systems Manager.
Options C is incorrect because an IAM role is required instead of an IAM user.
Options D is incorrect because creating an IAM group would NOT be a necessary requirement for the Systems Manager to work in a hybrid environment.
