One thing that s not obvious from the UI: the export feature produces a plain JSON file with all your saved connections and groups.
That file can be checked into a repo, shared over Slack, or dropped into an onboarding doc, and anyone on the team can import it and have the exact same connection setup in seconds.
Right now, SSM Manager supports four services out of the box:
OpenSearch
Aurora PostgreSQL
ElastiCache Redis
Amazon MQ
Each one comes with pre-configured remote and local ports, so you don t have to look them up every time.
But I know teams tunnel into a lot more than that: DocumentDB, MSK (Kafka), Elasticsearch, internal HTTP APIs, and custom TCP services on arbitrary ports.
A cross-platform desktop app for AWS SSM port forwarding. Save connections, organize by environment, detect port conflicts, and launch secure tunnels in one click.
