When describing a public AMI, the response now shows the associated public SSM parameter, eliminating the need to manually search SSM parameter namespaces. This allows teams to use SSM parameters as aliases that always resolve to the latest AMI version, simplifying AMI updates across infrastructure. The feature is available at no extra cost in all AWS regions including China and GovCloud. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
