A company has a fleet of EC2 instances that are not configured with the AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent). The operations team wants to use Systems Manager to run a script on these instances to collect diagnostic information. What should the team do first?

Use AWS Systems Manager State Manager to associate the script; State Manager will install the agent automatically.

Use AWS Systems Manager Run Command directly; the agent is automatically installed when you use Run Command.

Install the SSM Agent on the instances and ensure they have the necessary IAM permissions to communicate with Systems Manager.

Create an Amazon EventBridge rule to invoke a Lambda function that runs the script on the instances.
