  <description>This update for amazon-ssm-agent provides version 2.3.50.0 and fixes the following issues:

- Enables the Session Manager capability that lets you manage
  your Amazon EC2 instance through an interactive one-click
  browser-based shell or through the AWS CLI.
- Beginning this agent version, SSM Agent will create a local
  user "ssm-user" and add it to /etc/sudoers (Linux) every time
  the agent starts. The ssm-user is the default OS user when a
  Session Manager session is started, and the password for this
  user is reset on every session. You can change the permissions
  by moving the ssm-user to a less-privileged group or by
  changing the sudoers file. The ssm-user is not removed from the
  system when SSM Agent is uninstalled.
- Retry sending Run Command execution results for up to 2 hours.
- More detailed error messages are returned for inventory plugin
  failures during State Manager association executions.
- Bug fix to clean the orchestration directory.
- Streaming AWS Systems Manager Run Command output to CloudWatch Logs.
- Reducing number of retries for serial port opening.
- Add retry logic to installation verification.
- Bug fix to retry sending document results if they couldn't reach the
  service.
- Bug fix so that aws:downloadContent does not change permissions of
  directories.
- Bug fix to Cloudwatch plugin where StartType has duplicated Enabled
  value.
- Added support for agent hibernation so that Agent backs off or enters
  hibernation mode if it does not have access to the service.
- Fix S3Download to download from cross regions.</description>
