My work has given me a remote windows desktop to use, that I access using AWS.

Through this windows desktop (accessed via a chrome web-browser), I can SSH into a compute node to do work.

I dont actually need this virtual desktop, I’d rather just SSH from my local machine directly to the compute node, using the remote desktop’s network without having to spawn the desktop itself.

Ive been reading up about SSM agents[0] as a solution, but am unsure if I have the priveledges to do this myself.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/session-manager-getting-started-enable-ssh-connections.html#ssh-connections-enable

Is this something I can easily do using the AWS credentials that I have?

    You can always connect to yourself from the Windows machine and tunnel SSH over that, but it’s likely you’ll hit a firewall or possibly even a TLS MitM box.

    I don’t want to undermine their security. I could do a reverse proxy of course, I was just wondering if AWS itself had a solution here
