+## Description
+
+Infection Monkey enables you to launch Agents throughout your AWS
+infrastructure without logging in to or modifying any of your EC2 instances.
+Executing Infection Monkey on AWS EC2 instances is facilitated by the [AWS
+Systems Manager (SSM) Agent](
+https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/ssm-agent.html).
+Each EC2 instance has an SSM Agent installed for updating, managing, and
+configuring the instance. It executes requests received from the [AWS Systems
+Manager](
+https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/what-is-systems-manager.html),
+and uses the [Amazon Message Delivery Service](
+https://docs.aws.amazon.com/service-authorization/latest/reference/list_amazonmessagedeliveryservice.html)
+to report status and execution details back to the Monkey Island.
+
+In order to use this feature, your EC2 instances must meet the following
+criteria:
+
+1. The SSM Agent must be installed on the EC2 instance from which you will
+   launch the Infection Monkey Agent.
+1. The EC2 instance must have the necessary IAM roles to allow the SSM Agent to
+   execute commands.
+
+
+When the Monkey Island is deployed on any EC2 instance, (such as when using the
+[Infection Monkey
+AMI](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-b3oqimxzrd762)), it will
+automatically detect that it is running on within an AWS environment and the
+option to launch Infection Monkey Agents on EC2 instances will become
+available.
