  • Changed inventory's aws:application gatherer to use win32_processor: addressWidth to detect OS architecture to avoid localization based errors.
  • Fixed CloudWatch issue with large configuration.
  • Fixed S3 upload when instance and bucket are not in the same region.
  • Fixed bug that prevented native language AMIs (Japanese AMI) from launching Cloudwatch.
  • Returning longer StandardOutput and StandardError from RunShellScript and RunPowerShellScript which show up in the results of GetCommandInvocation and the detailed output of ListCommandInvocation.

  • Standardized S3 result paths across plugins; commands append command-id/instance-id/plugin-name/step-id associations append instance-id/association-id/execution-date/plugin-name/step-id.
  • step-id is the id field in plugin input if present and supported, otherwise the step name (in 2.0 schema documents), otherwise the plugin-name again.
  • plugin-name and step-id have : characters removed.
  • Various other bug fixes
