My work has given me a remote windows desktop to use, that I access using AWS.

Through this windows desktop (accessed via a chrome web-browser), I can SSH into a compute node to do work.

I dont actually need this virtual desktop, I’d rather just SSH from my local machine directly to the compute node, using the remote desktop’s network without having to spawn the desktop itself.

Ive been reading up about SSM agents[0] as a solution, but am unsure if I have the priveledges to do this myself.

Is this something I can easily do using the AWS credentials that I have?

    AWS does have plenty of VPN solutions for this, but likely not with the credentials you have because they’re usually very specific. And it’s probably intentional, if they wanted to give you VPN access they’d give you VPN access.
