Amazon EC2 Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is now available in the Asia Pacific (Seoul) region. 

We are thrilled to announce another way for customers to install the Amazon Inspector agent on their EC2 instances. Customers can now use Amazon EC2 Systems Manager (SSM) Run Command to install the Inspector agent on a single instance or groups of instances. Previously, customers who wanted to install the Amazon Inspector agent on a fleet had to either manually install, or build their own installation script. With this launch, customers can use the AmazonInspector-ManageAWSAgent Systems Manager Document in Run Command. You can target instances you wish to install it on either by using tags or by providing instance ids. As an example, if you wanted to install the agent on all instances in an Inspector assessment target, you can specify the same tags used for creating that assessment target.
