How to Resolve Manually
To resolve this manually, you can run an AWS Systems Manager Command.
Go to Systems Manager in your AWS Management Console, and select Run Command in your left menu under Node Management.
Search for AWS-RunPatchBaselineAssociation and indicate if you want to Scan or Install the patches and the Instances you want to make it Patch compliant. Writing the command output to an Amazon S3 bucket is optional. When done, click Run.
